This Exercise App Throws You Right Into the Middle of an Action Movie
Run for your life.
Fancy yourself a bit of an action hero? Maybe you watch the parkour scene in Casino Royale and think "yeah, I could manage that." If that's the case, this brand new running app might be just the thing for you. Developed by a South Korean tech company, Tracks throws exercise junkies into the middle of an audio blockbuster, giving them the spark to run like their lives depend on it.
Admittedly, the idea isn't a new one – according to an interview with The Next Web, the app's creators took the premise in part from the insanely popular Zombies, Run!, which motivates runners with the sounds of an undead menace hot on their trail. But if Zombies, Run! takes its cue from horror stories, Tracks hopes to draw on a whole variety of different genres. Their first narrative mixes action and sci-fi, and sees runners traverse collapsing buildings and machine gun fire as they fight for survival over 15 chapters, against a malevolent force known as The Growlers.
Assuming the app proves successful, the plan is to create additional stories, with the designers floating the possibility of branching out into thrillers or even romance stories. Not sure how that would work, exactly, but it sure sounds intriguing. The app is currently in beta testing while the team looks to raise additional funds via Indiegogo. They expect it to be available via the App Store and Google Play Market by the end of June.
