In this dystopian world life holds no value. your 9 to 5 wage slave job was no longer enough to pay for your single room flat so you did the next best thing and signed your life away to LUCKROT CORP.

You're a live streamer now... dream come true.
You are thrown into the gauntlet filled with mutant freaks and traps, you must clear every room, each one bringing you closer to death.

Your enemies? once human scum, enemies of the government, now mutated freaks released onto the arena as fodder destined to die. The viewers absolutely love it.

The further you get, the more viewers arrive to witness your inevitable demise. They are here for the main event. The boss fights will be a spectacle.

Once you clear a room you can enter the HUB, this is where you pay your tax and gamble away the rest of your hard earned cash. Hoping to get a new weapon or ability upgrade. Its the only thing that will help you make it to the end.

There are only two places in your world:
The HUB, and The Arena.
There is no going back, you have already signed the contract.

Die, and your place will be taken immediately.

Your life is a performance
Your death is content
