Hedone

It is the year 2020 and the line between entertainment and reality has become blurred, as people increasingly demand more extreme thrills. Step into the lifelike virtual reality and see for yourself… Hedone is a free-to-play multiplayer game with a unique setting. Based on global combat game show, real people with real weapons fight for stardom, success and fame every night in front of the camera. Using a new technology, replicas of players bodies are created before each show, so that upon demise, their neural patterns can be restored, allowing players essentially to go back out and fight within minutes. The combat arenas are found in a variety of locations in the shooter game Hedone, from prisons to oil rigs to abandoned towns. All this is organized by the US entertainment network and broadcasted live to a large global audience.
