Polybius by Collin Armstrong
4.0
"I want to be as blunt as possible about this: the game is not safe to play."
I can't believe POLYBIUS is a debut! The setting, atmosphere, and overall world-building were really well-crafted.
I loved the urban legend surrounding this book and the arcade game within it and watching the small 80s town slowly crumble was eerie and unsettling, but also had me rooting for the teens like no other 😤
The pacing did slow down for me a bit around the halfway mark and the character list became quite extensive, but, if this book is a sign of anything, it's that Armstrong knows how to write a damn creepy story!
I'm looking forward to what he may be writing next - and can we have a moment of silence for this cover?? 🙇♀️
