When lifelong gamer and apocalypse survival enthusiast Ethan Carter boots up his favorite game, "APOCALYPSE", for the hundredth time, he never expects the unthinkable—the game’s nightmarish world suddenly bleeds into reality. Overnight, the rules of survival change. The streets he once walked are now overrun with the same horrors he’s spent years defeating on-screen: ravenous mutants and beasts.
But Ethan has one advantage—he knows this apocalypse. Every faction, every weakness, every hidden safe zone. The game’s mechanics are etched into his mind, and if he plays his cards right, he might just survive long enough to uncover why this is happening.
As reality and simulation blur, Ethan must navigate a world where his gaming skills mean life or death—but real-life stakes are far deadlier than any respawn screen. And when he discovers that all is not what it seems, the race is on to find answers before the game’s final, world-ending event triggers in real time.
