About Running Late

You're late for work. Again. The boss is waiting at your desk, coffee in hand, and he wants the whole story. Running Late is a card-based bluffing game where you build excuse chains out of ridiculous cards — traffic jams, pigeon negotiations, weather balloons, a dog that shows no remorse. But every card locks in facts about your story. Say you took the bus, then blame a flat tire? WIDERSPRUCH — sorry, CONTRADICTION! The red stamp slams down and your credibility takes a hit.

How to play Running Late

Mouse / touch only Tap a card to add it to your excuse chain (3 cards per day) Tap an answer to respond to the boss's follow-up questions Optional buttons: redraw your hand or tell the truth (once per run)

Running Late is made by an independent developer and distributed through GameDistribution. It runs inside your browser and may show short ads before or during play.
