Our take on Amok Runner
Players who want a quiet story may bounce off when encounters turn into gunfights: the amok disease makes people rush at living things, so danger can interrupt exploration and puzzle-solving.
What is Amok Runner?
A noblewoman’s visit to a doctor’s clinic sets off a pursuit through a remote seaside town during an outbreak of a disease called amok.
People affected by it rush at living things, turning encounters with townsfolk into threats. The game combines gunfights, vehicle driving in an open-world town, puzzles, and a story told through collected notes. Alongside the main story are side missions and a survival mode built around waves of enemies. The narrative follows the doctor’s existential crisis and obsessive love, and draws on the world of author Stefan Zweig. The game supports a range of controllers, customizable keyboard controls, adjustable mouse sensitivity, widescreen, HDR, and 4K resolution.
