Synopsis
Streamer Miko enters a deadly VR beta to save her comatose friend, battling cosmic horrors for a wish and humanity's survival.
Miko Kurono, a small-time streamer known as “Necronomico,” ekes out a living broadcasting games to a modest audience. When her best friend and fellow streamer Mayu Mayusaka suddenly falls into an unexplained coma—one of several popular creators afflicted—Miko quietly shoulders the mounting hospital bills. An offer arrives: take part in a hush-hush beta for an experimental VR title with a payout big enough to erase her debts. Miko logs in, expecting a routine gig, only to find herself and six other streamers trapped inside a lavishly rendered nightmare. The program’s architects are ancient, malevolent entities that call themselves the Old Ones, and they’ve turned the simulation into a lethal spectacle where every cleared stage tightens their grip on the real world. Armed with her wits, a growing subscriber count, and the hope of rescuing Mayu, Miko must survive round after round of cosmic horrors. Each victory inches her closer to a promised reward—one wish, no limits—but failure carries a price measured in more than just lost lives. The stream is live, the audience is watching, and the countdown to humanity’s final curtain has already begun.
Miko Kurono is a lesser-known streamer, "Necronomico," who plays video games for her small audience. She has been covering the hospital bills of her close friend and fellow streamer, Mayu Mayusaka, ever since she and other popular streamers mysteriously fell into a coma three months ago. Desperate for money, Miko agrees to participate in a top-secret beta test for a cutting-edge VR game. After clearing the first level, she and six other streamers come face-to-face with the Old Ones—ancient, evil gods who have returned to take over the Earth but are currently trapped inside the VR world. Miko becomes enraged when she discovers that one of the gods, Cthulhu, has taken the likeness of Mayu and is the one responsible for her condition. Alongside the others, Miko is now a part of the Old Ones' twisted game called the Cosmic Horror Show, where the elimination of all the players results in humanity's doom. However, knowing that the winner is granted a single wish, Miko sets out to beat the game and save Mayu.
