Where did you get the idea for Game Over Girl?

“I’d wanted to write an unreliable narrator for some time – they’re one of my favourite tropes! I coupled this with my interest in VR, and loved the idea that a game would manifest someone’s darkest secrets, leading them down a path to self-discovery.”
