However, if you tap down or the crouch button, you’ll go into the crouching animation and immediately stand back up. This is, obviously, undesirable from a speedrunning perspective. When you pick up a weapon, your character will take the time to thoughtfully examine it, during which time you are not moving forward or getting anything else done. Sitting by a checkpoint will instantly refill health and stamina, though the animation will take a couple of seconds even if you get up immediately. If you get to a low-health state, you suffer all the same effects as fatigue, but it takes much longer to regenerate from, especially if you’re near death. You also have a health meter, which is naturally depleted by enemy attacks. While fatigued, you move much slower and your rolls and jumps are particularly anemic, so this is a state to avoid at all costs. It regenerates fairly quickly, too, but if you run it all the way down, you’ll be fatigued until it charges all the way up. It’s also depleted by melee combat, climbing, and jumping. Your character has a stamina meter, which depletes fairly rapidly when sprinting. This is especially true of jumping! Watch those barriers!
Different actions require different lead times depending on if you’re fatigued, running, or sprinting. This sounds obvious - we’re speedrunning - but much of the game is designed to trip up your flow. While certain parts of the game either require you to take a slow approach or to wait for an event to trigger, most of the time you should be endeavoring to move forward, preferably at speed. The following are core concepts for speedrunning TEC. The following section is sourced from a basic gameplay guide by TheLeonard, and is available here. Keyboard play works with arrow keys or with WASD controls. Unfortunately, while several preset controller configurations are available, buttons are not rebindable, so you’ll have to make do with what’s available. The gameplay itself, while straightforward in casual play, is opaque in some really critical ways - yours truly didn’t realize that sprinting was even an option until her third or fourth run!Ī controller is highly recommended for TEC. If you’ve played those before, you’ll have a pretty solid idea of what kind of tech TEC relies on, but even if you haven’t, it’s an easy speedgame to pick up. The Eternal Castle is a lo-fi cinematic platformer, in the vein of Another World, Oddworld, Limbo, and the like.
