"the game" is a futuristic vr game that works kind of like the dream machine thing in inception. one person is the "host" for a game and the other players enter the host's mind.but when camille finally hosts a game for the first time, she sends her friends to hell. like...literally hell. it only lasted for a few seconds. but it felt like eternity.for days after her experience, camille can't shake the feeling that something followed her out. there is something watching her. some evil around the corner.but that's crazy. i mean it's just a game...right?a high school terrifying suspense in the tradition of carrie with psychological twists that make you question your own reality (in the spirit of such scifi writers as philip k dick).there's a reason that we don't play that game anymore...
