The interactive survival experience where every decision could be your last launches on PC today
London, UK - February 5, 2026. PRM Games, in collaboration with Benacus Entertainment and RNF Productions, today announces that The Run, the gripping Full-Motion Video (FMV) horror-thriller from acclaimed interactive filmmaker Paul Raschid (The Complex, Five Dates, Ten Dates, The Gallery, Hello Stranger), is out now on PC via Steam for £9.99/$9.99/€9.99 with a limited time 10% launch discount.
Following its success on iOS and Android and a groundbreaking interactive cinema residency in London, The Run arrives on PC as a bold evolution of cinematic gaming, an immersive experience where players don’t just watch the story… they live it.
Set along a remote running trail on the breathtaking shores of Lake Garda in Northern Italy, the story follows a famous fitness influencer whose morning jog spirals into a desperate fight for survival. Hunted by seemingly motiveless killers, players must make split-second decisions that shape the narrative in real time, with every choice leading closer to escape… or a brutal end.
For writer and director Paul Raschid, The Run showcases how interactive cinema is evolving into its own powerful storytelling medium. Blending the language of film with the agency of games, the experience is designed to be intense, emotional, and deeply personal, putting players directly inside the narrative where every moment unfolds around them and every life-or-death decision is theirs to make.
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 a two-month residency at London’s Genesis Cinema, where audiences voted on critical story decisions in real time, transforming gameplay into a shared cinematic event.
