Description: Otherworld by Jason Segel, Kirsten Miller This is not a game. The future is now. And the future is terrifying. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "When I was a teenager, I was one of the lucky few who got to experience a game very much like Otherworld before it was shut down. When I heard rumblings it was being reimagined for VR, I knew it was something Kirsten and I had to write about. Part mythic adventure, part sci-fi love story, entirely cautionary tale — we wanted to reach the newgeneration of potential players before this game becomes a reality." - Jason SegelThere are no screens.
