About

This is where the ineptly executed Barn Runner saga begins.

What starts as a routine investigation into a missing robot quickly spirals into sinister conspiracies and delicious free cheese samples.


Barn Runner: The Armageddon Eclair is a full-sized game in two chapters that will set you (as Detective Prick Peckard, head of the Robot Crimes Division) hot on the trail of a missing robot as you follow the trail of clues from the Food Courts of your domed city all the way to the untamed green forests of a land that does not officially exist.


THRILL to the chase!

FEEL the chill of gruesome crime scenes!

SMELL the free samples of the Food Court!

FLINCH from poorly executed cut-scenes!

All this and more awaits you in the world of Barn Runner!

Awards & Reviews

AGS Panel Rating

An amusing pseudo-parody of Blade Runner with a sarcastic, down on his luck hero chasing a rogue robot.

Pick of the Month

January 2014

Initially a parody of Blade Runner, as it progresses it forms into something else entirely. Ponch released a few episodic short games, before releasing Barn Runner: Forever Friday Part 1, showing that the universe was already well-fleshed. Words and sentiments, can't describe the craftsmanship

throw the man a gift card.
a fine start to a great series.

The game is more a graphic novel than a quest. While very well written and nicely drawn, it features puzzles way too scarce and easy. I actually don't remember a puzzle that took more than 15 seconds to solve.

I have a problem with part 2. I entered the right password, the files were extracted, but when I started the game, I got this error:

Very fun games, parts 1 and 2, gotta play the others yet, very excited!

Couldn't agree more with seawana, and I'd nominate this into the AGS awards if it wasn't too late.

Love the graphics and sense of humor. Very funny, great music and puzzles that make sense. Great work. Looking forward to more adventures with Prick!
