But is it really that simple? Emmilie Rune Lien would tell you otherwise.

A game she was born in, a game that she lost everything to, and now that she has built her life again, the game resumes. With new players and old, with new rules and characters, and worst of it all, with her now perfect life on the bet.
The only memo to the game - You survive at the cost of others, choose wisely.
