A nuclear war sparked by an energy crisis brought about a nuclear winter, forcing the survivors to take refuge in underground shelters. But the resources stockpiled underground were limited, so in the hope of returning to the surface as soon as possible, a fully immersive game called Rules for Surviving the Wasteland was forcibly rolled out in every underground shelter. The game perfectly simulates every situation that might occur on the surface: radiation, hunger, monsters... Players may face all kinds of deadly threats, but each person gets only three chances to respawn. Once those chances are used up, the shelter’s intelligent central control System will automatically cut off all supplies to that player in real life... food, water... even oxygen. “Hello, I’m Player 9527. How much does this powered armor cost?” A post-apocalyptic wasteland-themed online game novel. Some of the game’s settings are inspired by Bethesda’s Fallout series.
