(Another World + Mind Games + Ensemble Cast)
The “New World” opens, forcing twelve “players” of different backgrounds to take part in a civilized yet brutal game of survival.
Here, “democratic votes” decide how resources are allocated each day, while “trial games” determine who lives and who dies. Most terrifying of all, the game's designer is hiding among them.
Li Ziwei, Player No. 07.
He is the “witness” to this hellish trial of human nature, recording everyone's breakdowns and choices in cold, impassive prose.
He is also the “designer” of it all, personally weaving the maze that leads to hell.
When he shackles himself with the same restraints as the players, the trial finally becomes fair. He must either use his wits to fool everyone and bring the game to a perfect close, or be torn apart by the enraged “lambs,” becoming the most spectacular ending in his own game...
“Welcome to the New World. Remember, it was never the game that killed you, but the people by your side.”
