RunRunRun

RunRunRun is a short game about words that cut, and how we heal. 

You run as words fly at you, avoid the words (glass shards) with your three lives. How long can you keep running?

Content Warning!!!

This game is a depiction of my personal experience that deals with sexual violence, including rape and coercion. It also includes verbal abuse and bullying. It shows degrading and insulting words aimed at women, including slurs, and an introduction that depicts sexual assault (illustrated, not graphic). The introduction can be skipped, and you can close the game at any time by holding Esc.
