Description

Squid Game meets Agatha Christie in this locked-room virtual reality murder mystery, where the only option is to win – or die trying…

Video games have never been more murderous.

Veronica wakes up trapped with four strangers in a sprawling manor house during a snowstorm, faced with a dead body and a mystery straight out of an Agatha Christie novel. It feels incredibly real – but it isn’t. This is VR, and this is THE Game: a rumoured Easter Egg hidden within other VR games, pulling you into a competition for a prize beyond your wildest dreams. There’s no escaping the VR world until the Game is won.

As Veronica and her fellow players attempt to decipher the puzzle, something seems off in the VR world. They experience blackouts, glitches, NPCs acting strangely, and a mysterious figure trailing their footsteps. When a player dies and it results in their real-life death, chaos ensues.

Without warning, the game Veronica thought she was playing is overshadowed by a much darker and more real mystery: who is killing us?

It may not be a game Veronica wanted to play, but it’s one she must win – or die trying.
