Restricted Sprint?

Pre-comment - I didn't have time to read the whole thread so I'm just replying to the first bit.

Wait, what problem exactly are we trying to solve? You know, other than "these kids are too damn scared"? What benefit would a sprint mechanic have in the game?

I'm not a fan of game mechanics that limit you. It's transparent, annoying and breaks immersion, and I think the free running works fine. This game is supposed to send you running for your life. This game is not designed to kill you if you make a mistake. It's not made to challenge and punishment for failing. It's built for immersion in horror and story, to make you feel fear.

Here's the clincher: You know what has a fatigue mechanic? Slender. I don't think anyone made it through a game of that without screaming that the goddamned obese chick you're playing needs some fucking excercise.
