RUN (DEMO)
A downloadable Visual Novel for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
The narrative to follow is a work in progress and subject to change as the game continues its development. Keep in mind that changes to characters and the storyline, are implemented with care, and the intention of enhancing pacing and character design.
RUN
RUN is set in a dystopian future where, for several years, the surface of the Earth has become uninhabitable due to catastrophic events that have led to only a few people being able to survive in colonies and bunkers scattered across the planet.
Living in a colony named Terra's Legacy are Bram and Adrian, who, on a poorly planned escape from the atrocities committed by a tyrant, end up repeating the same mistake that led to disaster years ago, but this time with even worse consequences.
Now, Bram finds himself lost and alone in the desert, with no reason to continue or to turn back; his empty hopes, malnutrition, and dehydration are taking over quickly, leaving the fennec between life and death. Will Bram be able to forgive himself in this new world filled with danger? Only time will tell.

Amei o jogo. A arte, layout, história e o desenrolar são maravilhosos, espero que o projeto continue!! Muito bom de verdade parabéns :D
AAAAA fico feliz que gostou e vai continuar sim, só vai levar um tempo por motivos médicos ^^'
in reality it's really nice like the story I like the story where it tells the life of the main character even if we don't know why there was blood on him from the start of the episode then he saved by a killer well I didn't understand at all but in any case he saved I have the atmosphere of horror plus the friendly and childish and fantasy atmosphere in any case good job I hope see more^^
I loved it it was amazing so far cant wait for anything else to come out!!! good luck :D
a pretty good game! art is really pretty; pacing is a little strange; exposition is woven into the story really well and the characters are well written. excited for the next chapter
10/10
Im not really good with these type of comments, so ill keep it short: the demo is fantastic. The universe is my favourite thing of all, its a new (and very cool) addition to a quite cliche concept, which makes it sooo good. I really wish an another update will come out in 2023, but even if it doesnt, im still gonna be waiting :)
I love this game can't wait for the next update.
The art is great and I loved the glitching memories it create a great feeling of disconnection and the sound track are just perfect, keep up the good work because I'm just so excited for the next update and see what this great world of yous has to offer cuz I'm loving it so far.
WOW just WOW!!! I love it!!! Awesome read and I'm ready for the next build!!
Finished the first build and having a great read! :)
This game has a wonderful balance of morbid dark moments and light hearted silly jokes that I really enjoyed, I can't wait for more, keep up the good work!
The scarf I gave you must smell like a snake's armpits X"D
Wow. This sure is a good beggining. I like the story, even tho we didn't see much of it. This universe is amazing, made me think of "rusty punk" even tho it's not the same context at all.
The characters are endearing, and i want to know them better, but i'm afraid this will go too quick in the NSFW. I hope we'll get to see more before that. The artwork is so funny, i love it :)
Anyway, nice VN, i'll look forward to the futur updates ! Thanks for creating this vn, keep going ! :D
After analizying this vn, I have made one conclusion. SO👏MUCH👏EFFORT👏 are put into this vn that includes from all aspects, coding, illustrations, sprites, basically everything. The only thing I couldn't analyze yet is the lore behind it. I wish you the best of luck to continue and I'll be lurking in the shadows, awaiting the continuation <3
p.s. Congratulations on that one nightmare scene, it manage to give me a scare...Be proud of it ; ]
Outstanding beginning. I really need more of this story!
I'm working on it! Just dealing with some stuff right now, so it might take me some time ^^
Good things are worth waiting for. Take as long as it needs.
You have my attention
Best post apocalyptic story I've read even though it's a demo. Definitely go up there with One Last Night.
Oh wow, thank you!
It's really good so far~! n_n The art is cute and the story has me longing for more ^^_
I'm happy that you like it, there's more being worked on already, but first I'm improving the overall atmosphere, so I can deliver updates regularly! c:
That's a real good idea :) 1nce xou get all xour bases covered, the story just sorta flows and xou're allowed to run with it and not worry about having to go back and change something UwU
Xou're off to a really good start :3 the feeling of xour VN is fresh and riddled with mystery~ :p
Só de saber que vc é um br me traz uma luz no fundo desse mundo, pois já estava pensando que não teria ninguém brasileiro que conseguisse trazer uma VN tão boa como a Echo ou 9:22! Muito bom trabalho e muito boa a trilha sonora! Combina com os fatos que ocorrem ;)
AAAAAAAA
Vlw, de verdade xD
Fico feliz que tenha gostado tanto!
>;)
Ooofff!!! A lot of sad to take in, but its nicely softened by not knowing too many details, holding us back from actual feelings of attachment. That doesn't mean he is free from it all. Who knows though if he is really dead? Wouldn't be the first time I've seen stunts like this being pulled! DXD
Well, stick around and you'll find out!
There's a lot more to unravel in future builds~
Ah dang, for when an android version? It looks great, but it'd be better if I could play :')
I'm just reviewing some lousy grammar and bugs right now, so I can release the Android version with everything already fixed, it shouldn't take too much time. I hope you enjoy it!
thhank you!
Very promising, you can see the effort put into this project, the premise is interesting and the art works really well. I especially liked the animations, they help a lot in the creation of the vibe of the project. Waiting for the next updates,
to see again the face of the cute hyena.Heh, thank you! And rest assured that you'll see a lot more of the cute hyena in the future!
Intriguing premise, but the grammar and sentence structure ruin it. I couldn't go five minutes without seeing a mistake of some sort in your writing. Fix that, and maybe it'll be better.
Thanks! I'll look into it as soon as possible!
I'm not a native English speaker so I'm bound to make some mistakes in my writing.
Well shit. Now I feel bad for saying what I did.
It's okay! It helped me fix some of the grammar. I want to improve my English writing skills, but Portuguese is way different, it might take some time to understand how to better structure sentences, and the way commas work as I know they differ from how we use them here in Brazil, but I'll give it my best!
Oh cool! A Brazilian author! I have a good friend in Brazil. He's cool.
