Getting Sucked Into an MMORPG With My Roommates

Overview

A quiet, cozy game night with your four roommates turns into a fight for survival when a violent storm strikes your apartment building, pulling all five of you directly into the world of Aetheria Online. Trapped inside an unfamiliar high-fantasy realm governed by RPG mechanics, dangerous monsters, and hidden dungeon politics, you and the girls must learn the game, build your character loadouts, and rely on each other to survive.

Will you lead your party to victory and find a way home, or will Aetheria claim you all?
