Earth was invaded by an alien megacorporation. They collapsed the planet's infrastructure in a single moment — anyone indoors died instantly. Survivors who reached the dungeon stairwells became contestants on the most-watched show in the galaxy: an 18-floor death crawl, broadcast live to trillions of viewers. This is Season 97. The crawler is a contestant, a product, and a person trying not to break. Dark comedy over a massacre. The world ended and somehow there are still puns, bad sponsors, and a System AI that won't shut up.
