posting the first public build of Run!. it is an endless psychological horror obstacle runner built around escalating tension and distance survival.

you begin in the quiet of the Midnight Graveyard, but as you run deeper into the night, the environment starts deteriorating. the further you survive, the darker and more aggressive the world becomes, and the faster your score accumulates.

Controls are straightforward: W / Space / Up Arrow to jump over roots and graves, and S / Down Arrow to duck underneath low-flying wraiths and hazards. Grazing obstacles with tight timing awards a Close Call score bonus.

Headphones are strongly recommended for the procedural heartbeat and audio cues. Post your best distance and high scores. Let me know how deep you manage to get before the dark catches you.

made it to 1,450m on my third run. ducking under those low flying specters in the red fog while the heartbeat is pounding is genuinely stressful in headphones.

passed the 3,000m mark and the sky completely changed. the screen shake and background cues almost made me miss a jump. 16,840 final score.

glad the tension is translating well. The duck hitbox has a small safety buffer so you can skim directly underneath the wraiths without clipping.

broke 4,800m! whatever is waiting past the 4,000m mark is terrifying. managed to bank 28,500 points before a hound caught my landing.

the atmosphere transition around 500m scared the daylight out of me. smooth frame rate and very responsive jumps.

the Close Call bonus sound chime gives so much incentive to cut jumps as close as possible.

reached 3,200m! the mourning chants in the background speed up as the pace ramps.

the gothic tombstone silhouettes against the crimson horizon look fantastic.

5,200m run! 34,200 points. the speed past 5k is insane.

arrow keys feel very responsive. the slide animation into duck recovery is seamless.

headphones are definitely required. the spatial audio cues give you warning before the wraith swoops.

passed 4,500m on my lunch break. had three people crowding around my CRT watching.

new board record: 6,140m with 42 Close Call grazes!

the sepulcher altar header framing the game canvas looks super authentic.

6,140m is incredible phantom_thief. you must have memorized the double grave leap rhythm.

still playing this every evening. timeless gothic runner.
