TILT

Matteo struck a bargain with his parents: If he applied to the local college, they'd pay for his mental augment. He knows they want him close to home, but can't help but want to follow his friends to UC Silica. Further clouding his decision is the fact that his brother left home, never to return. As he and his friends mull over their respective futures, they stumble across an augmented reality music app that turns stressors into monsters: TILT.Soon his source of escape becomes a stressor all its own. When teens start practically living in the game, the lines between what is real and what is fantasy blur beyond recognition. A cyberpunk story with roots in litRPGs and the quest for a more perfect playlist, TILT is a strange medley unlike anything you have ever read before.
