OneShortEye does a lot of videos about adventure game speedruns.

After speedrunning classic PC adventure games, I realized that if anyone was going to make speedrun documentaries about our community, I couldn't wait for anyone else to do it. In the summer of 2020, I released the world record history of King's Quest, and I've been making speed docs ever since.

I currently focus on retro PC adventure games like King's Quest and Quest for Glory. As time goes on, I may branch out, but my interest is finding passionate, smaller communities.
