The game merges cinema and gameplay, offering a new form of interactive entertainment.
London, UK - January 19, 2026. This February, the line between film and video games disappears. PRM Games, in collaboration with Benacus Entertainment and RNF Productions, today announces that the terrifying Full-Motion horror-thriller The Run from acclaimed FMV specialist Paul Raschid (The Complex, Five Dates, Ten Dates, The Gallery, Hello Stranger), will launch on PC via Steam on February 5, 2026. Fans can Wishlist the game now.
Following its success on iOS and Android and an interactive cinema residency in London, The Run now arrives on PC as a highly ambitious and immersive FMV experience, delivering a new form of entertainment where players don’t just watch the story… they live it.
Set along a remote running trail on the breathtaking shores of Lake Garda, Northern Italy, the game follows a famous fitness influencer whose morning run spirals into a desperate fight for survival. Hunted by seemingly motiveless killers, players must make split-second decisions that shape the story in real time, with every choice potentially leading to salvation… or death.
“What excites me most about The Run is how it shows that interactive cinema is becoming its own powerful form of entertainment,” says Paul Raschid, writer and director of The Run.
“We’re no longer just borrowing from games or film, we’re creating something new that sits between them. The Run is intense, emotional, terrifying and deeply personal because the audience isn’t passive. You’re inside the story, making life-or-death decisions as it unfolds. I think players are ready for this new kind of experience, and I can’t wait for PC audiences to step into it.”

Featuring a stellar cast led by Roxanne McKee (Game of Thrones, Strike Back) and George Blagden (Vikings, Versailles), the experience also includes unforgettable appearances from horror icon Dario Argento and screen legend Franco Nero. With more than three and a half hours of filmed content, multiple branching storylines, twenty unique deaths and five distinct endings, no two playthroughs are ever the same.
Beyond traditional gaming, The Run has captivated audiences worldwide with screenings at Raindance London, MOTELX Lisbon, Dinard, and Imagine Amsterdam, before taking over London’s Genesis Cinema for a two-month residency where audiences voted on critical story decisions in real time using glow sticks, transforming gameplay into a shared cinematic event.
