When an alien invasion destroys humanity's structures on Earth, the survivors are trapped inside a vast fantasy dungeon. Carl and Princess Donut, his ex-girlfriend's cat, must find a way forward in a place filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

Survival in front of an audience

The dungeon is also the setting for a television show watched by viewers across the galaxy. Progress depends on more than just avoiding danger: the contestants have to keep the audience entertained, and attracting followers can help them survive. The struggle to reach the next level thus combines adventure and spectacle.

A fantasy adventure with game-like rules

The print edition includes the first part of the bonus story “Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret.” The premise brings together level-based progression and dungeon challenges with the pressure of performing for an audience watching from space.
