Description

One man. One cat. One alien invasion. Infinite chaos.

Dive into the first explosive Dungeon Crawler Carl adventure - a wild mix of sci-fi, fantasy, and twisted survival comedy.

‘If there’s a better LitRPG than Dungeon Crawler Carl, I haven’t read it’ Shirtaloon, author of He Who Fights Monsters

 

You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what’s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic, intergalactic game show. That’s what. And now Coast Guard veteran Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, must try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game-like, trap-filled, fantasy dungeon.

A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality TV show with countless viewers across the galaxy. So not only do they have to stay alive, but they also need to earn ratings based on their performance. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain’t your ordinary game show. Keeping viewers entertained is essential. Survival, however, is not.
