The game you've been playing all your life wasn't a game at all. Zenon snatches you the moment you think you've won, drags you into a world where the high score is someone's actual death, and never apologizes for the trick. It's The Last Starfighter remade by someone who understood that the real horror isn't the alien war, it's realizing you volunteered for it.
Hiroshi Zenno is a high school student whose one talent is arcade games. After setting a huge high score, he comes across a new game called Expers that promises the affection of the beautiful Princess Atover, and he signs up. The next day a capsule crashes into his classroom, and the princess inside hands him a powered suit with real superpowers. Expers turns out to be a deadly contest against other players, where only the main character survives and someone unknown is controlling the game.
