The Runner
A downloadable game for Windows
Story
The city is growing fast—and dangerously. Built around a volatile magma point, it rises on magic, ambition, and fear. Disciples—holy architects and warriors—shape its walls and weapons, preparing for a final push against the beasts that dwell below.
Ekhi is one of them. A swift-footed messenger with sharp eyes and a sharp tongue, she patrols the city’s outer edge, watching for threats... or worse, the thief.
But the longer she watches, the more the lines begin to blur. Who are they really fighting? And what kind of future are they building?
World
This is a place where magic is cast in concrete. Every building hums with divine energy. Sacred geometry isn't just a metaphor—it’s a weapon.
At the heart of it all lies the Magma Point, a living mine of magical power—and monsters.
The city is built not just for survival, but for dominance. Offense towers, siege altars, living walls—each structure serves a purpose.
And when that purpose ends, a different kind of disciple arrives to take it down.
Characters
Ekhi – A disciple and one of the city’s fastest messengers. Known for her speed, precision, and biting wit. She keeps watch at the city’s edge, straddling duty and doubt.
The Thief – A rare and sacred figure. She demolishes forgotten buildings, absorbing the magic left behind and returning it to nature and the gods. One exists at a time—and her arrival is never accidental.
Gameplay
A short, story-driven visual novel with a brooding tone and expressive dialogue.
Perfect for fans of moody worldbuilding, subtle character tension, and stories told through architecture and silence.
