What is this communities definition of a glitch? Does using dev-implemented game mechanics such as jumping to skip certain dialogue/animation count as a glitch? Sorry. Its kind of unclear to me.

you'll have to be more specific. Things such as skipping a cutscene is more than likely a glitch. Another thing is in the showers with the twins, dodging the twin and running past him is considered a glitch because you are skipping dialogue. A glitch is mainly defined as skipping a cutscene/animation intended by devs. I would recommend watching some glitchless runs in like top 10 so u can get an idea of the routing and what things can't be skipped. If you ever have any questions, be sure to join discord and ask there :)

Thanks Bro

To give an example, the part where you edge across the ledge and get grabbed by the variant but wriggle and dodge him. wouldn't it be allowed to jump and grab onto the ledge skipping that animation? How can that break the game if the devs intended for that mechanic to work on that specific ledge in the first place, giving you a legal way to skip. Also, I watched your run. It showed me a lot of stuff which ive taken note of, but there are some parts I think you could potentially do faster on. Gl on taking back #1.

running across the broken ground is considered a glitch? Im from brazil no speak english using google translator

@Gabsterical No, jumping at the prison block to skip that ledge is not allowed on glitchless.

@DodoExtreme16 I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean the part in female ward where you run across the floor and it breaks (before you lose the camera), you are not allowed to jump over to skip it.

Thanks Finath
