If you have any questions, check the FAQ section below.

This has been realized by The Messenger Speedrun's community on discord (join us   / discord  ) between June 8th and August 15th 2020. Each week, a different level was the focus of the runners to beat the best times in each different room, in the Hall of Fasts.

The best clip for each room was then accepted, and we put them all together to form this beautiful video that widely beats the 29 minutes barrier. We made sure to make this video's route possible, with enough time shards, HP, shuriken at all times.

Huge thanks to all the runners, experimented or not, who participated in the event, that was really cool to organize, love you guys. Go sub 30 btw

--------- FAQ ---------

- What is the "Infinite Health/Infinite Shurikens" text ?
It's a debug value of the game's Trainer, which is a mod that allows to teleport and quick save+reload. The use of the trainer was allowed during the Segmented times hunt because it is way easier to try and retry specific rooms with it. Using the trainer is totally forbidden in real runs.

- Why are some transitions weird ?
We tried to make the transitions as smooth as possible, but as each room was done separately and by humans, it is not possible to make everything perfect.

- Is everything doable by a human ?
Yes, everything was done by actual humans

- Is this run perfect ?
No, but it tends to approach perfection the more we can. We hope to push this game's speedruns the furthest we can.

- Why is not everything perfectly synced (music, sounds) ?
Everything was edited by myself, I tried to make the video as enjoyable as possible to watch.

- Why is there no sound effects ?
It would have been too long to add them manually, and we couldn't expect every runner to follow strict rules on how to record their clips.

- Why are objects not going above the screen as in the game ?
I added a black bar at the top of the screen to put custom counters instead of the clips' counters, which are not linked between rooms.
