Run!
A downloadable horror game
You are running. Escaping, stumbling on your own legs. Your short breaths are labored, shaky.
Something is after you. You don't know what it is,
but you know it won't quit. Your life is at stake.
You feel that it is close, as if a claw is
sliding down the back of your neck.
And you know you must not look back...
Run!
============================
WHAT IS THIS GAME?
Run!is a solo narrative game inspired by the slasher horror movie genre. You play as a survivor of a nefarious attack, and you are being chased by... something. Whatever that is, it is relentless and it wants you dead. Throughout 16 scenes, you play to collectMemoriesto try and piece together what is happening while you run for your life and try not to run out ofBreath.
The game uses a standard deck of cards and a customized system that pushes the story forward while revealing dark and mysterious aspects of the events, the stalker, and yourself.
============================

Just found your work via the Delvers video previews you did with gamer channels. This and Delvers caught my eye, so I will be buying here in a few minutes. Thank you for noting clearly when something is solo.
I do wonder which of your other games might be in the 1+ category, supporting solo but okay for more than 1 player?
An excellent little solo game that perfectly emulates the feel of slasher movies, with a lot of freedom on how realistic or horrific one wants to make things.
Mechanics are simple and effective and the large number of keywords and prompts is a great help to turn a session into something easy and pleasing!
All that in only 30 pages,Run! is really quite a neat package and Cezar a designer you should definitely follow!
