Gayren has the perfect life-or at least, that's what he's programmed to believe. Every day begins the same: birds chirping, trees swaying, and silent customers appearing while he repeats the same lines and follows the same rules. It's all he's ever known.Until one night, a strange player arrives after the game should have reset and asks the one thing Gayren can't do: "Turn around."When he refuses, his world glitches apart. Thrown into a strange space between code and reality, Gayren can suddenly move, feel, and think freely. He soon wakes in a real room, staring at a monitor that shows him still trapped in the booth.Desperate to warn the version of him still following the script, he types the only message that ever broke the cycle: "Turn around."Just a Game? is a mind-bending, eerie short story about identity, control, and what happens when a character discovers the truth behind their world.
