Kill Factor | by Ben Oliver


Expected Publication Date: April 16. 2024


Emerson Ness has committed a crime. She has been offered an opportunity to participate in a reality game. If she wins the game. She wins her freedom. If she loses she will be imprisoned for life without any contact from the outside worlds or others. Emerson and 49 other contestants join the game. Playing the games (5 in total) along with creating content for social media and getting upvotes can is going to prove to be more difficult than any of the contestants every imagined.

The contestants must journey to an circular island  and are forced to play games that are cruel and unusual. Bonds between gamers will form but this sinister game can only have one winner and sometimes winning is losing. 

The character development is amazing. Each character is distinct and you'll find yourself on the edge of your seat especially as the stakes increase. 

 Kill Factor is reminiscent of  The Hunger Games, Maze Runner and a few Black Mirror episodes. If that genre is your jam you'll love Kill Factor.
