About this listen
Working as a quality-assurance grunt in the gaming industry sounds like fun, right? You get to play the coolest new games before anyone else. And all you have to do is to find, reproduce, and report bugs before the last pixel is locked in and the games are launched to an eager public. Sure, there’s the unpaid overtime, the office politics, and the ever-present threat of layoffs. But you get to game!
But when a small third-party testing team is assigned to work on Blade Skill Online - a highly anticipated virtual reality MMORPG - they quickly find that some bugs are more serious than others, and some truly insidious features are "working as intended".
If our intrepid QA team wants to survive the launch cycle, they're going to have to break this game. Hard.

A Comedy Of Errors
A fantastic parody of an SAO-esque evil plot... as told "from the trenches" of the outsourced external Quality Assurance team!

Is this going anywhere?
Sorry I can't finish this, it's just dragging on and I'm sick of hearing all the bug details. I'm a gamer but the characters were too childish for me

Weird Stange Gaming Story
Did not enjoy this story. The bug thing and sound effects were repetative. Was going to quit listening but fell asleep. This one is definitely being deleted from my library,

Excellent performance
Got me grinning at all the nerdy references, and very much enjoyed listening to the likeable characters. The short duration of the book works well as this was short and punchy. Highly recommended for any fantasy and IT fan. Totally better than Ready Player One.

For fans of MMORPG
Loved the references to Sword art online and Ready Player One. Nerdy enough that as someone who has done QA testing before it made me chortle, and yet still enough explanation for those who aren’t familiar with the jargon. Thanks for the laughs!

Surprisingly good
Not a gamer so wasn't sure I'd enjoy/understand this, but great voice acting and enough plot progression to keep me hooked. Nice short story.

Too cliched
interesting as a short listen but the characters are just too clichèd in their personas and characterisations.
The actual plot was a little simplistic and childish for an adult audience. Target demographic 14 year old gamer geeks...
