No Longer A Game

An electromagnetic pulse bomb turns a secure building into a psychotic battlefield, trapping an international group of young game creators.

They will now need to use the survival skills honed while creating their ‘Pulse’ game if they are going to escape the imploding and now crumbling building whose other occupants are becoming dangerously and murderously psychotic.

PULSE - Three Seasons of Survival

Season One - Personal Survival 

We begin our gruesome and terrifying journey down the rabbit hole of personal survival for all our young and talented game developer protagonists when an EMP bomb turns their secure building into a psychotic battlefield they must immediately escape in order to survive. 

Season Two - Tribal Survival

To survive, our protagonists are now driven underground to the vast labyrinths of the long-abandoned gold mines existing under the once bustling streets of contemporary Johannesburg. Here our protagonists' struggle for personal survival morphs into that of tribal survival, as they must now band together with others in order to live to see another day.

Season Three - Species Survival

Fleeing destruction's wake, our protagonists emerge from their subterranean world to that of the actual 'Cradle of Humanity' where life began for us, all and where our story takes us to the end of human civilization as we know it and to that of a new beginning—rebirth.
