The Fallen Star Tower is plainly crawling with monsters. But for daring to oppose the authority's lie, "There is nothing at Fallen Star," the mage tower's council refuse to release their prisoner. Even though they TOTALLY SHOULD. But there's no arguing with the all-knowing wizard... unless you show them they aren't as smart as they think.

Who's investigating whom? As our heroes dig deeper into the mysterious forces haunting their town, it seems like some mysterious forces are digging deeper into them. That's the thing about a persistent gameworld like Kings of Bolera: Whether you're playing or not, the game goes on…

The day is saved, but the danger is just beginning. It turns out the world of Kings of Bolera is, like, real. So maybe it's time to get a better sense of the game world. After all, if there's a danger hiding here, it's better to find it before it finds you.

With a more complete understanding of the world they're walking around in—and a mysterious new ally—Jack, Robert, and Sutton finally have a sense of what they're up against. The trouble is, that just means they truly understand the depth of the mistake they've made. They'll have to travel deeper into Kings of Bolera than they ever thought they'd go, or a little goblin from the tutorial level might just destroy the entire game world.

Okay, so that's where the monster came from: A decades-old online RPG. All we have to do is… go inside the video game and solve the problem from the inside out, right? But when you go into a place this different, will you be the same person when you walk out?

Welcome to Broken River, Minnesota. There's a lot to see here. From the huge but forbidding dive bar Dog Tags to the iconic underground canal tunnels to the historic apartment building where our three heroes lay their heads. But there's even more that you can't see. Like the creature that's just gotten loose in town… from somewhere far away.
