PRM Games Announces The Run – A FMV Horror-Thriller Experience Launching Soon

Are you looking for a terrifying story that uses a unique visual style with interactive elements? Then this Horror-Thriller Full Motion Video experience, The Run, is something that you should check out!

The Run, developed by PRM games and directed by Paul Raschid, acts as the next addition into a unique genre of media, being an interactive film. Similarly to video games, it focuses more on creating a unique story with branching pathways. However, something immediately noticeable about this experience from video games is its use of Full Motion Video.

Full Motion Video, or FMV, combines the use of real life acting and settings with an interactive component. FMV would be used a lot by fourth generation consoles, though they would fall out of use for 3D games. However, FMVs would never truly die out, and would resurge through the indie scene.

Indie games would use FMV as a way to blend interactive elements with a film-like style of presentation. The Run is one such example of this, filmed like a movie with interactivity. This includes multiple “game over” instances, and endings that change depending on your choices.

Then there is the story itself, which focuses on a fitness instructor traveling on a trail in northern Italy. However, things become dangerous, as killers begin to hunt down the runner with monstrous tenacity. You must make choices to keep the runner safe, or else they will end up meeting a grizzly end.

KEY FEATURES OF THIS HORROR-THRILLER FMV GAME

• Choice-driven gameplay with five unique endings to fully uncover the story.
