How It Begins
An elite group of ubernerd gamers are beta-testing an MMORPG called 1337. As the gamers ascend levels, they begin to realize that the game is much more than just a videogame and they are faced with the challenge of winning their lives back.
Notable Features
- Story navigation is similar to a choose your own adventure. Each of the novel's 300 pages prompts readers to select an option or supply their own. Choices shape either minor descriptions or major plot elements.
- Players' statistics are based on Jungian archetypes and traditional RPG character attributes.
- The story gradually links backstory internet sites, including a game company website, scholarship on videogaming, and other online games, in the manner of an alternate reality game.
