Hi

I know no one really runs this game, but I was wondering about Safe Mode for my future runs. This gamemode disables chases and death, so in a couple of places it could be a big time save, especially in The Hunt.

I think we should ban it and add "You must play on Normal Mode" in the rules, otherwise all the current runs in the leaderboard would be kinda obsolete. What do you guys think?

A seperate category can be made for this if required.

I don't think it's necessary... It's basically the exact same run but just allows to skip the scenes with the Formless Man and the final sequence in Chapter 3, it's only about 2min saved. Honestly it could be allowed, thus making a new route possible, but I didn't want to use it in runs until I was sure it was okay

I think the changes in the A.I. warrants a separate category. Although it may not change a whole lot for Layers of Fear 2, having monsters active or not can really change a speedrun.

I say use it. I'll decide if it's different enough to justify a separate category or not.

So, just to confirm, people now run this in safe mode?

Oh yeah, I forgot to update here, my bad!

I don't think the safe mode update justifies a new category. I'd be welcome to discuss this further if anybody has any concerns. Don't hesitate to query it, this is just what I've concluded.

So, yeah, go ahead and run on safe mode. 👍

I've done my Any% run in Safe Mode, it makes plenty of sense and I don't see any objections to it for any category!

OK cheers :)
