looking to explore a concept similar to the dungeon crawler carl series by matt dinniman. our characters are among earth's last survivors, forced to participate in a brutal game for the entertainment of an alien race that doesn't really care if they live or die. they must agonize in real-time over maximizing their stats to stand a chance against boss-level monsters and sometimes their fellow man. hmu if you enjoy meta humor, a constant sense of danger, tough choices, and emotional growth.
no familiarity with the books is necessary. if you've ever played a video game, you'll have a decent grasp on what's going on. we can always tweak the premise to suit our needs as we go.
