Most gamers in Omikron: The Dark Realm would be thrilled to receive the Anshul race – a rare offspring of demon and troll. Theia Meyers isn't most players; she's a convict, pressed into playing the game so PCs can hunt and kill real criminals. Cut off from out-of-game guides and communication, flagged as hostile to most NPCs, and only able to level through quests assigned by the villainous 'Echidna' AI, Theia must struggle to adapt and survive this virtual blood sport.
