Publisher's summary

A thief on a mission to save his sister. An ambitious demon masquerading as an artificial intelligence. A game designed to shatter the minds of the people who play it.

When Ramzan steals from the Chechnyan Mafia to create a better life for his sister, he knows he’s pissing off the wrong people. They want their money, and they’ve created a diabolical method of extracting information from their enemies. Full Immersion Virtual Reality sounds great, until he learns the horrors this incredible technology can cook up.

Now, he must keep his wits up and his sanity points high as he battles hordes of fearsome abominations on his quest to escape. Zombies, lycanthropes, slime monsters, and more stand in his way, controlled by a devious programmer that doesn’t play fair.

Can Ramzan protect his secrets and maintain his sanity against this psychological onslaught? Will he succumb to the terror, and become the monster he set out destroy? He’s gotta stay sharp, and he’s gotta stay sane, if he has a hope of escaping....

The Nightmare Game System: the original MMORPG murder, mutilation, offensive, repulsive player game.

amazing addition to litrpg

I've finished over 100 audio books, 80%-90% litrpg and this one jumps twords the top of that list.

the litrpg aspects of this game is done beautifully, as well as the world and characters development. no its not a huge world but what is done is solid. the horror aspect is for the most part newer to me, which was done well too. its not to crazy over the top and brings in many ideas of horror films, so if your a horror movie lover, this is for you. the scariest part i found was the concept and idea that something like this could be done in our future if VR becomes what we see in litrpg, shows/movies.

the narration is done really well. one of the best quality that iv Hurd so far. voices are done clean and bring live into this horror story. i have to say, all of the narrators did a good job but Anneliese Rennie as the Game AI put this audio book on the next lee with her performance.

i Hope and cant wait for the next book.

delightfully dark!

Fun story and narration!

Russian thug successfully pulls off a heist to give money to his sister so she can start a new life. Unfortunately he gets captured by Russian mobsters and thrown into a horror-based VR world to have the truth tortured out of him. How could he possibly get out of such a sticky situation?

Steve and Anneliese do a great job with the narration and really bring the characters to life!

I enjoyed this audiobook and can't wait to find out what happens next!

first journey into horror

this was my first journey into horror litrpg and I really enjoyed it I look forward to listening to more

great horror game!

the mechanics and systems behind the story and game is just brilliant!
the plot and story exciting and the characters believable.
If you want a well written and different litRPG this is a great book to pick up!

while all 3 of the narrators does an excellent job, you can just tell that Anneliese had a blast voicing this book, but then she did have the perfect character to voice for that to come across...
Blaine is life!

fun classic horror throwback

I enjoyed the horror/litrpg fusion. It started a little slow, but ramped up at the end. I look forward to the next in the series.

A perfectly cast 1st installment of a trilogy of horror

1st off I love horror. 2nd I Love LITRPG. This masterpiece is a combination of the both of them. I have listened to many multi narrator books, audio dramas etc. this is at the top of my list of any of them. You couldn’t ask for
Or Find a more perfectly cast audiobook. The role of Blair voiced by Anneliese Rennie is without a doubt in my mind her finest performance in a role written for her. Her vocal talents, her sassy personally and her live for the written word truly bring her role and the story to life in your mind. Combined with the talents of tristen and Steve you have a perfect storm of vocal talents raining the horrifying tale that Raymond Johnson has written for your ears. While the book is great, the audiobook is phenomenal. This was a story that was written for the ears to hear. The MC is a villain in his own right but you can’t help but root for him with what his intentions were. His soul bares its own dark marks and a dark history. He is in a game that has been modified to break him and anyone out in it so that the information needed can be extracted. What the one who modified doesn’t realize is that the AI he has “created” I’d far more than it seems (Blair/Anneliese). The realms of horror and the things the MC and others trapped in the game must face are familiar images to the fans of 80’s horror. You will see countless references and nods to the greats of the 80’s that are still relevant and classic to the genre today. Buckle up and get ready for an auditory experience like no other cast you’ve heard before. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

Amazing!

I can’t wait for book 2! this book was awesome and book 2 seams like it will be even better! Grate characters a wonderful demon and fantastic nightmares!

I don't even like horrible but this is good!

I will be the first to say that I absolutely do not like horror, it's just something about it that potentially gives me nightmares. that being said this is a very very well written book and the narrators are to be commended both were super awesome!

Wow

I've read this book. I found the audiobook to be much more detailed even though it's the same story. I also think the choice for Blair was phenomenal. this was just a really great story put together extremely well. All the characters and situations were gripping. Well done!

Original Content in the LITRPG Genre

It's not the most frightening horror novel I've ever read but it's almost one of a kind in the LITRPG genre. That alone makes it stand out. And while the monsters didn't do much to frighten me, the implications of the torture device was horrific enough for me and really made me think of the possible downsides of these trapped in a game novels. Really loved the narrators as well, each bringing their own distinct voices and flavors which helped it stand out against other audiobooks as well.
