I was just an anonymous clerk at a game store. Then one day a disgruntled customer ran over me and my hot co-worker Kelly—all because of an unreleased game I wouldn’t sell him. Now we’re trapped in a huge three-dimensional maze where gravity seems optional, competing in dangerous contests with a team of fellow social outcasts. And failure is often fatal.

We just need get to the bottom of this maze. If only we can find it.

Dungeons were real.
