Skin Games

About this edition

An AI-ruled city. Deadly games. Every choice carries a price.

Skin Games thrusts you into Probium, an AI-ruled megacity where every citizen’s fate is decided by deadly “games” and every choice carries a price. Here, your worth is measured by the games you win, and what you’re willing to risk. When eighteen-year-old Nas rejects a safe job to play Eco’s infamous Skin Game, he trades security for risk and gets to rewrite his destiny.

Nas battles through the city, built on risk and reward. Every victory costs a piece of his humanity; every failure edges his family closer to oblivion. To survive, Nas must navigate a city designed for exploitation, outwit enemies who profit from blood, and hold onto the one thing that can’t be wagered: his humanity.
