Are there any speedruns for this 2008 freeware PC game? I'm sure it might offer some interesting and fun to watch runs. The official page/forum is dead so I'm posting the wikia link instead where you can find a download mirror.

I think it's impossible to TAS because it contains online ranking board. TASVideos do not accept online games.

Actually, www.potato-factory.com/temporal/ no longer exists so it no longer has online ranking boards. Does that mean it's OK to speedrun now?

Well, if failure of connecting to server doesn't affect gameplay critically, sure you can.

As Patashu mentioned, the official game page and its online ranking boards no longer exist so I guess now it's a fair candidate.

In fact, the game can totally be played offline. The online boards were only an option for those willing to use them.

Yes, please. I'd really like to see the result of a TAS, in particular trying to beat the records reported in the wikia page.

I would also love a TAS from this game! There's one challenge I haven't been able to complete; seeing it torn apart would bring me a lot of joy.

What challenge is it?. The game seems to have some sync issues with Hourglass but I'm sure it can still help in getting better records/replays. Also, I've found that Silence of the chicks, an even older game from the same author, works fine with Hourglass and it might also be interesting to TAS. Quoting this article: "Don't let the simple graphics or easy controls fool you: SOTC is one of the most clever puzzlers I have come across in some time".

The Alpha 12 (the 3rd challenge, I believe). And yes, Silence of the Chicks is pretty good too!

Ah, Challenge 3, the solution is not hard to find, the hard part is to time it right. Unfortunately just watching a replay doesn't show how it was solved, that's where Hourglass can be useful.
