RUNT released

Dateline: 8/10/2026

The post-apocalyptic mystery game RUNT is now available on Steam.

From DreadXP:

Someone, or something, has defaced your late-father’s pulpit in the old boarded-up church in what’s left of your small, rural town. An omen has appeared, and it’s your duty to investigate the message and solve the mystery behind a vague countdown ending on the fifth anniversary of your father’s death. Investigating the mystery isn’t an easy task, however - the apocalypse has left creatures of supernatural strength to deal with, and it’s never been easy talking to your brothers.

RUNT’s entry into the horror mystery genre of visual novels presents a new and unsettling twist on the traditional format, injecting unpredictable outcomes and supernatural threats into a mature and heavy environment, where family dynamics can be as dangerous as what lurks outside the town’s walls. With meticulously crafted aesthetics, including original photography and hand-painted art, RUNT is a unique and mature story for adventure, mystery and visual novel fans. 

Weaving complex and difficult family dynamics with survival politics throughout its disquieting, enthralling narrative, RUNT offers a vast depth of player choice as you forge your way to one of multiple endings via a smart multi-branch dialogue system.
