CHAPTER 2 IS OUT NOW!🎉🥳

🥳IT TOOK OVER HALF A YEAR, BUT WE BACK!

Chapters 1 & 2 of Just Keep Running are now available for you all to play as a demo! Scroll down if y’all want more details about the game and what changes we’ve made (compared to 1.4.4, which wasn't available on Steam).

This update brings you a brand new Chapter in the Main Campaign, and a total of 5 NEW LEVELS, one of which isn’t part of the main campaign.

Spinnin’ Security Bot

You’ll come across new obstacles like Lasers and Disintegration Panels, and there’s a brand new enemy as well, the Security Bots.

Changes to Level 1-1

We’ve reworked the 1-1 tutorials to be (hopefully) much better at teaching the game’s mechanics. We’ve also reworked and optimized Story Messages, the Pick-Up system, enemy detection, and vision cones, and we’ve also squashed A LOT of bugs.

Vision Cone added to Roof Turrets and Security Bots

And we’ll keep on updating and adding more to the game in Early 2024 thanks to a lot of useful feedback we’ve gotten from our playtesters. Thanks by the way to everyone who playtested Chapter 2! The ones who I know have given us great feedback and engaged with the game the most have been credited wherever possible.😀

You will hopefully soon be able to download and stream the Chapter 2 soundtrack sometime in January 2024!

We also want to remind you all that we recently announced the I.M.I.Self Hope Initiative!

The I.M.I.Self Hope Initiative is our way of giving back to those in need. Starting January 5th, every other month on the Friday of the first week, we plan to give back 20% of our net income to a humanitarian charity of our choice.

The first charity we’re planning on giving to is Anera, which is currently providing hot meals, hygiene kits, cleaning services, psychological support, and health clinics in Gaza and the West Bank, whose civilians are being actively displaced and killed in the Israel-Hamas war.

We will make announcements whenever we donate and if any changes are made to the initiative. You can read more about the initiative and check our donation reports here!
