it starts as just another shift at The Nine Lives. Then time stops.

A mysterious lottery representative arrives with an announcement that will change the workers' lives forever: they've won a place in The End Games, the galaxy's biggest televised dungeon crawl.

With five minutes to say goodbye, the contestants leave Vega behind and discover just how big — and how strange — their new reality really is.

The cameras are on. The Games are about to begin.

The Games have begun.

Armed with little more than torches, questionable equipment and a rapidly growing collection of bad decisions, the contestants enter the first level of the Crawl.

Traps. Skeletons. Rats. A cursed sword. And somewhere in the darkness, something is waiting.

But the dungeon isn't the only thing watching them.

The cameras are rolling. The audience is waiting. And the contestants are beginning to realise that getting out alive may be harder than getting in.
