The Run (2026)

The Run is one of Raschid's strongest FMV projects to date which delivers a tense, well‑acted survival thriller with sharp pacing, high production values and genuine emotional stakes. Fans of interactive storytelling and cinematic horror will find plenty to enjoy.

The Run was such a unique ride for me. I will admit it was nice to sit back and see what unfolded with a few clicks here and there. You really do need to have a box of popcorn to flick it at your screen, though, to get you through some of the more cliché or predictable moments.

The Run is a fun, feature-film-length game with mystery, murder, and a whole lot of running. I was rooting for Zanna from the beginning, when she was bright-eyed and pushy-tailed with innocence oozing out of her pores. Handsome, mysterious farmer Matteo adds more questions than answers, but he’s a welcome break in watching one person run alone, interrupted now and then by masked murderers. The acting was good, but the story is where The Run shines. And the endings I found? *insert mind blown emoji here*

Before its PC release, The Run was available on smartphones and even in cinemas, where audiences voted to determine the characters' next actions. I admit that in this format, watching it on the big screen might offer some enjoyment, but seasoned video game enthusiasts are unlikely to appreciate this minimally interactive story with a predictable plot twist in the finale.

The run is an interactive movie that gives you many choices to choose from throughout the game. While the acting and Direction was surprisingly better than most FMV games, it still has the same issues most FMV’s have, unnecessarily long scenes and an underwhelming story.. Overall fun to play and watch with friends, but still very forgettable.
