A Dark New World

Inspirations: An even mix of Devil Survivor and all the vast literature of Korean, Chinese and Japanese light/webnovels and comics about dungeons in the modern world and characters with game-like abilities.


The characters have spent the last couple years as players of Last Prophecy Online, a next-generation Augmented Reality phone game - a quite classic thing with goblins and wizards. Finally, at the end of 2025 the beta phase of the game will end, with the full release right around the corner.

Of course, come the eve of 2026 everything went exactly as planned for the players: the maintenance notices leading up to the end of the beta phase started sounding progressively creepier, until everything went straight to hell. Skittering creatures in the dark, progressively more dangerous creatures peeking from sewers and subways among rolling blackouts and failure of communication systems.

Except, of course, for the built-in chat function of the game app.

But we're getting ahead of ourselves: the game will start right on the midnight between 2025 and 2026 - give or take a timezone or twelve.
