Description
Delphi isn't a gamer, and just because practically everyone else has embraced Absolute Reality doesn't mean she sees the appeal.
But High Noon is different. For a start, if she wants her inheritiance shehasto play. And, once she steps foot into that Wild West that never was, filled to the brim with demonic pacts, body-modders, steampunk Technicals and Gunslinging miscreants, the game's most-lauded feature takes the reins.
None of the players know they're playing. High Noon is as real as life, right up until it isn't.

Now let's get the the interesting bits!
Style: even though the story technically takes place in a game, you might as well forget the real world exists. The story takes place from the first person point of view of the main character. The author takes every opportunity to breath life into the rugged wild West atmosphere. He gives just enough information for you to picture the the world but not too much as to bog the reader down with boredom. He teases you into using your imagination to fill in the gaps to the point where you feel like you could almost step into the world he has created. All without breaking character.
Story: by now you realize that this is a wild West style world, but that's only the very bare bones of what it is. Steampunk technology is common place and you can be sure to expect all sorts of interesting gadgets in the future. Fantasy elements have been blended in as well. Superstitions have been made reality and while the story has not proceeded enough for me to know how far this goes, I can assure you the author has not slacked in this end either. The overall feel of the story is very gritty. Imagine stepping into a saloon filled to the brim with thieves and outlaws. The tenseness of the atmosphere, the feeling like you have to watch every muscle twitch, as if the slightest jerk would cause the entire plac
