Dungeon Crawler Carl

Aliens wreck all that humans have built on Earth. They force those left alive to join a game show. Carl must face a dungeon full of traps with Princess Donut. She is his ex-girlfriend’s cat and has won prizes. They must stay alive and reach the next level. But that is not enough. Their show must earn ratings from viewers across the galaxy.

This is Matt Dinniman’s first Dungeon Crawler Carl tale. It blends science fiction and fantasy with dark comedy about staying alive. It is LitRPG: the dungeon works like a video game. It is also a set for reality TV.
