About this listen
A death game where the prize isn’t power or money—it’s health insurance.
+Insert coin to keep breathing+
To erase his crippling medical debt, 50-year-old Dave signs a contract that uploads his mind into RiftBorn™—a brutal pay-to-win dungeon-crawler death game watched by millions.
Dave doesn’t need to level up or get loot. He has 20 days to win over a generation raised on TikTok and Twitch, or the system pulls the plug on his real-world body.
The problem? He skipped the tutorial and has no idea what he’s doing.
Broke, bald, and armed with nothing but discarded loot and blistering sarcasm, Dave is trapped in a world where every quest is sponsored, every death is monetized, and every mistake goes viral. And for a social hermit like Dave, being watched might be worse than dying.
To survive, Dave must outthink influencers, sabotage engagement systems, and fight back against a healthcare machine that profits if he dies.
Figure out the rules. Survive the game. Don't die, Dave.
