PRESS START TO REMEMBER — A LITRPG NOVEL WHERE EVERY LEVEL IS A MEMORY. Eli Vance wakes from a coma with 10 HP, a mixtape from his dead sister, and a head full of game mechanics. To survive, he has to 100% the worst game ever: his own life. Each track unlocks a level — bullies, car crashes, the night he almost quit for good. But this isn't VR. There's no respawn. And Maya, his tutorial ghost, can't save him if he won't press START. A New Game+ LitRPG about grief, ghosts, and the cheat codes we write to stay alive.
