2078.
Mankind has lost its battle against AI. Only 0.03% of humans are still alive. And barely.
Used for labor and for entertainment, the last humans only have one thing left to do: RUN.

This philosophic metaphor questions us all about the role of AI today, about our responsibility as humans, and about our past, present and future.

You are one of the few survivors and today, it is your turn to run. You don't really know why you run, where you're running to or what you're running from. Your memory is blank. Only one thing remains: You know you have to run. Fast. 

Don't let them get you. At least not right now. Keep running a bit more. Stay alive a bit more. Show them what mankind is made of. 

One more second.

The GAMEPLAY

In RUN FOREVER, you only need 3 buttons to play. One will make you switch lanes to the left, one will make you with lane to the right. The last one will make you go faster. But BEWARE! As you won't be able to slow down. Every time you press that button, you make a life and death decision.

The faster you run, the higher your score multiplier gets, but the harder the run gets. You start with 3 lives. Each time you hit an obstacle, you lose a life and reset your speed.
Luckily, you get one bonus life the first time you get to 300% speed and 500% speed and each time you get to 1000% speed!

You'll have to avoid obstacles in a 3-lanes race with one goal that you'll slowly realize you'll never get to.

RUN FOREVER has 3 game modes (+ 1 secret mode, accessible via cheat code :p):

  • SOLO FOREVER -> Run as long as you can and as fast as you can to get the highest score. You will die, but you can die a legend.
  • TIME ATTACK -> How fast will you run several distances? Beat your own private enemy: yourself.
  • SURVIVAL - 2-4 PLAYERS (split screen) -> Experience a fantastic way to play RUN FOREVER: against your friends! Here, your speed increases automatically every second. Plus, each 20 seconds, the up-runner gains one life. Don't let the others pass you by!

You can play the game in either standard wide screen, or in TATE mode!, plus, a CRT retro effect can be switched on and off, and you can even adjust the vectors brightness.

Featuring a gorgeous synthwave soundtrack, RUN FOREVER is a game you'll definitely want to play again, and again, and again...
