Currently, you can only play through Chapter 1 of the game. More chapters are in development, and for the first two chapters, the game will be released entirely for free! What happens from there on is a mystery even to us, but we do hope you join us for the ride!
Just Keep Running is a parkour platformer that seamlessly blends fast-paced problem-solving and freerunning player movement. Delve into a thought-provoking narrative that explores superhuman abilities, governmental ethics, and the future of humanity.
Race against the clock as you navigate intricate test chambers meticulously designed to challenge your quick wit but also your ability to execute your plans swiftly. Hone the power of your freerunning skills to beat your and others' best times.
Just Keep Running offers a unique aesthetic, drawing visual inspiration from popular voxel-based games such as Teardown, The Touryst, and Cloudpunk. Prepare for heart-pounding action as you embrace gameplay mechanics reminiscent of beloved titles like Mirror's Edge, the Portal series, and Ultrakill.
Thank you for checking out our game! What started as a class assignment turned into something much larger, and while it is far from perfect, I am incredibly happy with how it has turned out.
And this might just be the beginning! We are incredibly ecstatic about this game concept, and we are more than willing to keep on developing the game further and further as long as the community wants us to!
We already have the script for Chapter 2 fully written, and we are incredibly excited about the potential places the story can go. And we truly hope our community is as excited about this game as we are!
If you want to join us on this adventure, there are many ways you can engage with us!
You can subscribe to our YouTube channel, where you will find trailers, gameplay, and other fun content related to our projects.
We also have a Discord server! A place that is made for us to be able to directly communicate with you all, plus to have a safe space for us all to engage in creative hobbies such as game development, art, music and so on!
Thanks for checking us out, and I hope you join us on this journey!

👍New week, new JKR update!
This version isn’t super interesting, but a necessary one. It includes some important fixes, QoL, and prep work for Chapter 2, which is not too far away from now!
You can find the full changelog at the bottom of this article. Keep reading if you wanna hear more details about it!
🤔So… what’s interesting about this update?
As we said above, not a lot. But, one feature we can highlight is the “Dynamic FOV” setting!
Showcase of “Dynamic FOV” setting
Normally, the FOV adjusts according to the player's speed. This is to create a cool effect that also works to create a sensation of moving quickly. But, some people might find this effect annoying and distracting, or even nauseating. So, you can now change whether this effect should be turned on or off in the Settings menu!
This version, much like 1.4.2, ALSO contains a good chunk of work behind the scenes in preparation for Chapter 2. (And this is the reason why the file size is 1mb larger than usual. Unacceptable, amirite!?)
🤳Social media game STRONK
Photoshop skills. On display. Frame this and give it to the Louvre and they’d call it a masterpiece.
Trust me.
Our social media game is staying strong. In fact, I’d recommend checking out our “The History of Just Keep Running” series on either TikTok or Instagram. In the series, I (Victor) go through every non-public version of the game from start to finish, and we see how the game progressed through the various months of development before releasing version 1.0.0!
We also try to actively post devlogs documenting our progress on Chapter 2. You can check out the one above for the most recent developments!
👋Come join our Official Discord Server!
Our Discord server is still somewhat active, and you can join if you wanna hang around with us!
The variety of people is broad here. You’ll find people here interested in game development, and even artists, writers, and musicians hanging around, and we want our community to become a kind of hub for all of us creatives to share some really cool ideas with each other!
So, again, if you wanna talk to us and a community of really cool people, please do join! The doors are open to everybody.😊
