I don't know if the monster follows some form of pattern but if not it's annoying that you could lose a run due to having to hide from it or getting caught

friendly monster and infinite stamina would make runs faster

My opinion this rng its ok in the run like every other speedrun game have more rng etc but for sure more stamina or speed hack is not the solution.You can try different path or bait him far away but from what i see after i attempt it lot of times is the enemies pathing is different depent also from your time

i meant the codes from the computer inside the game at the school entrance, not outside programs. i think it could at least be a separate category

yes we can go like " NG+ " for using the computer codes? i think fits well

If that's the case, I suggest to name a new variable (or create Category Extention) Restricted/Unrestricted or Cheats/No Cheats or Cheatcodes/No Cheatcodes.

The only issue is Normal and Hard will be both the same, if we remove out that monster (unlock Friendly Monster cheatcode)..

Besides, I've a run and a guide prepared for such category.
