Noclip in, no way out ...

All Dan wants is to find a way home. He'd settle for a beer, a bite to eat, and a place to sleep off his hangover.

But, in an endless, ever-changing dungeon cobbled together from twisted carnivals, abandoned shopping malls, janky laundromats, and condemned insane asylums, getting a bit of shut-eye is harder than it sounds.

Dan has accidentally "Noclipped" into the Backrooms—a bizarro, extra-dimensional Alice-in-Wonderland world, overrun with horrific nightmare creatures known as the Dwellers. No one ever gets out. Hell, forget about leaving, if Dan wants to survive the week, he's going to need to harness the strange game-like magic of the Backrooms, make some very sketchy allies, and carve out a little safe haven to call his own.

And he's going to need to do it fast because Dan is being hunted. The Flayed Monarch of the 999th floor has marked him for death and no one walks away from the Skinless Court with their hide intact ...

“The book is a f***ing delight. I enjoyed the absolute hell out of it and think it's an excellent use of pop culture to make something fun and horrific and awesome.” (Eric Ugland, author of the Good Guys and Bad Guys series)

“Buckle up, buttercup! James Hunter takes you on a balls-to-the-wall adventure that's as insane as it is awesome.” (Jez Cajiao, author of the Arise and Rise of Mankind series)

"Discount Dan is a fun, fast-paced read with awesome game mechanics, surprising humor, and a brutal adventure you won’t want to put down!" (Dakota Krout, author of Completionist Chronicles, Full Murder Hobo, and The Divine Dungeon)

I enjoyed the ride here. Discount Dan is a likeable protagonist. His sidekick Croc is equally likeable! The Duo make for an interesting read. Clear inspiration here from DCC, but that's okay. It still does it's own thing, entirely.

I enjoyed the concept of starting a business in this land of no hope. It's a genuinely cool idea. We get some awesome fight scenes, some heartfelt moments and genuine times where I could stop listening.

The Books starts fast. The opening chapters throws you in at the deep end. After that, we've a bit of a slow burn whilst everything about levelling and relics, etc, is explained, but the mid to late and definitely the finale pack a punch you'll enjoy!! I'm genuinely going to grab Book 2 with my next credit. Looking forward to seeing where this goes and what path our hero takes next.

Pleasantly Surprised!
