i dont believe there are any guides. it is meant to be played and learned as the game is intended. good luck brother :)

can you provide a clip possibly?

can you elaborate?

I will unarchive my videos for you, sorry about that I forgot I unpublished them. Here is my beginners guide and advanced guide. Let me see if i can get the correct Manifest ID for you and get back to you. :)

The best version for each category can be found in the rules for that category. The manifest ID should be listed.

1. Hack cooldowns work on a timer, same as the police tracking timer. The cooldown is only in reference to the "Random hack". There are two kinds of hacks. Random hacks and Force hacks. Force hacks can only be executed when the game is at at least a difficulty counter of 1. You can only perform one force hack every 5 minutes. I believe that is what the "cooldown" portion of the leaderboard is referencing. These figures only relate to the optimal manifest for speedrunning the Any% category and does not apply to current patch.

2. In normal mode, lucas will only show up when the difficulty counter is greater than or equal to 3. There is no time in which Lucas appears and it is only correlated to the difficulty counter. However, Lucas should not show up before 10:40pm, even if the difficulty counter is at 3 or more. There is a (dont quote me on this) ~14.6% chance Lucas will spawn before 10:40pm if the difficulty counter is higher than or equal to 3.

3. The dongle is an incredibly advanced mechanic that I do not feel like explaining it over text will do justice. I've created advanced video guides on my twitch channel where I believe I discuss it, otherwise it is in your best interest not to play around with that mechanic, as you could accidentally glitch your "Random hack" timer and never get hacked randomly again.

I hope that answers all of your questions :)

going to need a bit more detail, but you dont get hacked if the game is in an enemy state, based on your information that you're playing 1337 mode, it is likely that you've already died and missed lucas's audio queue, therefore you will not be getting hacked when your run is dead even though you're technically still alive.

Hello Everyone!

Within the next few weeks I will be reviewing all runs with https://slashinfty.github.io/yt-frame-timer/ and https://vidtimer.com to ensure the integrity of the leaderboard. As some of you may be aware, prior to the new world record as of 05/06/2023, the top 2 competing final times were less than a second apart. With more people joining the speed running community of this game, this seems like a necessary action. In the spirit of fairness, I will be publicly publishing the two frames that will be used when timing runs, (notepad frame and noir grab), and will be going through every run on the leaderboard within the next few weeks with a proper re-time as a mod comment.

Thank you for reading.

current patch significantly decreases the ability of the runner to perform a force-hack, therefore the recommended patch version is best for speedrunning the Any% front page category. The current record in current patch recorded I believe is held by divineshadow, showing a significant time decrease between using the recommended patch and the current patch downloaded from steam directly.

retimed for late start + early finish

As far as I know, the game is only available through Steam. The game is compatible for Windows and OSX operating systems. I'm not aware of any way to download this game without Steam.
