Press Start to Play is a LitRPG interactive fiction story by indie author McKay Smith, for fans of Choose Your Own Adventure, Wargames, and Ready Player One!
In this adventure, you need to beat a video game that has trapped you inside to save Earth from nuclear war!
You wake up in a pixelated world and are told that you are humanity's last hope. Will you take the tutorial on page 3? Or confident in your own abilities, speedrun to the end on page 11?
Throughout the book, you, as the hero, will pick up items along the way to earn your eventual victory! Every couple of pages, you choose the path you will take to your ultimate success or demise!
Each path leads to different outcomes, and in true video game style, you earn achievements depending on your choices that you can keep track of in the back of the book.
Filled with dozens of easter eggs, references, and secrets, Press Start to Play provides an enjoyable experience for all ages!
