Survival-horror game

The Night Run

The car is your shelter. When you step out, something else is out there. The Night Run is a single-player survival-horror drive through Mercy County after dark.

The Night Run in-progress gameplay: a car on a moonlit road through Mercy County.

Keep the car moving

The road takes you through a county whose rules you do not yet understand. Fuel, repairs, and the decision to leave the car turn a journey into a series of risks. Shelter is useful only while you can keep it moving.

A county that belongs together

We are building more than a stretch of road. Places, voices, sound, objects, and the rules of the world need to feel like parts of the same county. A shared canon gives that work a common ground.

How the world takes shape

AI tools and agents help us explore ideas and work across code, world design, and narrative material. We choose what belongs, check it against the canon, and try it in the game. A convincing idea on the page still has to hold up when you are behind the wheel.
