The Run

“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.”

“One of the best FMV games to date, The Run is expertly filmed, set in the gorgeous Italian countryside. Not only does it look stunning, but it's a genuine joy to play, thanks to solid acting, faultless pacing and an intriguing storyline. FMV games may be an acquired taste, but when they're made as well as this, they deserve to be played.”

“The Run is a gripping interactive movie that delivers great pacing, strong production value, and a branching story that rewards curiosity. Despite some limitations in settings and accessibility, the experience remains compelling, replayable, and full of surprises. If you enjoy FMV games or narrative-driven tension, The Run is absolutely worth diving into.”

“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.”

“I’m genuinely sorry that The Run ultimately turned out to be just an average production, and even knowing that it probably never aimed to be more than a B-movie horror experience, I still can’t see it as anything beyond that. Still, even an average film can be entertaining at times, especially when it’s an interactive one, where the story and its branching choices can offer three hours or more of engagement. On a completely dull evening, you probably won’t go wrong with it.”

“All in all, The Run is another excellent FMV title from Paul Raschid and his team. The performances are great, the choices present some real dilemmas, and the conclusion is satisfyingly surprising.”
