SKATE. SLASH. SHOOT. SURVIVE.

CoreRunner is a high-speed 3rd person runner/shooter that fuses sword and gun combat with luminous light trails to create an entirely unique playstyle. Set in the neon-drenched future of the Core — a network of spherical worlds designed as digital prisons — you'll fight your way to freedom across stunning synthwave landscapes.

FEATURES
- Revolutionary Combat System: Leave snake-like light trails as you skate through arenas, wielding dual swords and dual pistols, with 360° attack coverage.
- Aural Experience: Every environment and gameplay sequence crafted around pulsing synthwave tracks.
- Stunning Visual Design: Retrowave aesthetics with vibrant neon lighting and stylized effects that turn combat into visual art.
- Adaptive Difficulty: Face increasingly hostile patrols and environmental hazards as you progress deeper through the Core.
- Precision Controls: Master the bespoke controller system designed for lightning-fast reactions and fluid movement.

Carve your path through waves of digital guardians while the environment itself turns against you. Every level pulses with electric intensity, every firefight becomes a test of agility and timing. The Core wants to keep you. Only a CoreRunner can lead the way out.
