You're a forest ranger. You're on your way back to home after a very long shift at night. You stop by the café near the mountain to buy a cup of hot coffee and a slice of sweet pastry. But the barista is so rude, the coffee tastes like sands, and the pastry is too cold and awful. When you think your night is ruined thoroughly, you drop your car key in the dark parking lot, and you can't find it anywhere.

Suddenly waves of people in great panics start running toward you, leaving you only one thing to do: RUN!



1. A simple short story (estimated ~7k words) with choices to run or not to run.

2. Three possible endings and three secret endings.

3. In game assistance to get the true ending.

4. There's no way back. Don't try to do anything but run.

This was really unsettling. I'm still confused as to what prompted them to run nonstop.

Thank you for playing! Never thought someone playing it, it really make me happy (*´∀`*)

What can I say is maybe it's just stress and exhaustion induced nightmare, or maybe it's a psychotic hallucination, or maybe ... all of that is real? It's fine either way you want it to be ( ´ ω ` )

Oh my god that was terrifying. The way you wrote the hysteria and how MC felt with this entire ordeal. It was absolutely cathartic and terrifying, especially with how the crowd stampede was slightly described in a lot of detail. The entity of which was chasing the crowd was absolutely fucking terrifyin, especially with the never ending no escape looping and the details of blood flowing down its mouth. And the way the entity was being introduced-- Sent chills down my spine!

I feel so bad for MC. Like, jesus christ poor dude was just trying to get home safely and sleep but no, the entity and the crowd went "Hmm... Nope" and just carried them along the bowels of insanity.

I'm curious about the 3 secret endings. So far I think I've gotten 3 of the normal endings plus the True Ending, but the stress the game had on me was legit so great work on that!

This was... really good wth lmao. I still have so many questions on what they were running from. Was he actually even dreaming? I wonder if there will be a follow up or something.

😭 Why is this so scary huhu I'll have nightmares because of this. Great job anyway! 😭

Thank you for playing! Um ... because this is horror?😅

But don't worry, I dreamed this kind of nightmare multiple times, so "welcome to my nightmare," I guess?🎃
