The Nightmare Game System: A LitRPG Horror Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

Raymond Johnson (Author), Tristan Kane (Narrator), Anneliese Rennie (Narrator),
4.4 out of 5 stars 57 ratings

A thief on a mission to save his sister. An ambitious demon masquerading as an artificial intelligence. A game designed to shatter the minds of the people who play it.

When Ramzan steals from the Chechnyan Mafia to create a better life for his sister, he knows he’s pissing off the wrong people. They want their money, and they’ve created a diabolical method of extracting information from their enemies. Full Immersion Virtual Reality sounds great, until he learns the horrors this incredible technology can cook up.

Now, he must keep his wits up and his sanity points high as he battles hordes of fearsome abominations on his quest to escape. Zombies, lycanthropes, slime monsters, and more stand in his way, controlled by a devious programmer that doesn’t play fair.

Can Ramzan protect his secrets and maintain his sanity against this psychological onslaught? Will he succumb to the terror, and become the monster he set out destroy? He’s gotta stay sharp, and he’s gotta stay sane, if he has a hope of escaping....

The Nightmare Game System: the original MMORPG murder, mutilation, offensive, repulsive player game.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Impressively dark and well written first novel
    Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2020

    I normally avoid horror books, but I love litrpg, and I'm always willing to give a new author a shot. I have to say, if all horror was written the way this book was, I'd be reading a lot more of them.

    The author does a nice job of describing locations and monsters, with some truly nightmare inducing scenes.

    The main character is not weak, nor overpowered. Also, I really liked the way the stats were done in the book, very aesthetically pleasing and formatted. The stats actually made an impact on the story as well, which if you read a lot of litRPG you know that this is not always the case.

    Again, while horror isn't really my thing, I did enjoy this story. It flowed very well, and for it being a longer book I felt like it flew by. I hope the author releases a follow up.

    For me, I found the beginning difficult. It wasn't the writing, just darker than I'm used to. I had trouble with resident evil 5 for a while. This book reminded me a bit of the Resident evil series. Maybe I'm a wimp about horror. If so, the horror aspect's pretty good. I found Blair the AI annoying. Once I got in a ways, I found my groove and by the end of the book I can see a pretty good setup for a series. I thought overall it was well written. It was also painful for me as I can get squeamish at times and well the mc won't win the nice guy if the year award. I'm more fond of heroes.

    Ray Johnson has weaved a wicked tale of a man who is forced into the Nightmare Game System. Imagine A Serbian Film instead of World of Warcraft and you will understand why Ramzan is in for a hellish experience that could result in an eternity of horror if he dies in the game. The characters are rich and terrifying. Blair the sadistic artificial intelligence is hell bent on making Ramzan's life an unbearable nightmarish experience. She shines and is my favorite character in the story. This novel isn't for the faint of heart there is some truly disturbing material and I love it. Support this author, he is skilled and has a tremendous future ahead of him. I hope we continue to received horror litrpgs! A++++

    There isn't a lot of Horror LitRPG out there, and Raymond's tale stakes out some of that largely open territory. Creepy and fast paced, blended with horror troupes combine for a worthwhile read. Pressed on through it much faster than anticipated, to see what would happen in the end.

    Very well written. Story moved quickly. Horror is not a genre I often read. This is a good horror book. I could see this book being made into a movie.

    Running from someone is never easy but what if they know the rules and you don't. What if they can't be killed and you can. But you come back to do it again.

    Not my usual taste, but I thought I’d give it a try, and damn I’m glad I did! Really enjoyed it, especially the sanity points and being able to trade them. It’s a totally new take, and damn it’s good! Give it a try, you won’t regret it!
