For twelve years, SLASH TV was the most-watched entertainment program on Earth. It started as a late-night survival game show.

Then the ratings exploded, the safety protocols quietly disappeared, and the audience stopped caring who won.

Tonight, with the network's licence revoked at midnight, the executives had a choice: end it quietly, or make sure nobody ever forgot it.

They chose spectacle.

Every monster the show ever built is loose in one sprawling studio complex. 

Tonight's episode has one contestant.

You.

📺 A twin-stick shooter in the SMASH TV tradition

Fight room to room through a zombie-infested television network — makeup, catering, the prop department, the pyrotechnics bay — choosing your route door by door, while a live studio audience throws weapons at you and a host who feels nothing narrates your ratings.

• Three episodes, one run. 24 hand-built rooms and three bosses: a game-show host with a shotgun-mic, an executive who teleports between takes, and an AI camera-drone that predicts where you'll run. Beat one and your run rolls straight into the next, score and all.
• A new episode every night. SYNDICATION builds a fresh studio from tonight's date: the same seed for everyone on Earth, with a global leaderboard. You're racing the world.
• Eight monsters with tells you can learn. Boomers chain-detonate, stalkers fade out, spitters shoot back, gushers hose a three-glob fan and rare gold-ringed elites always pay out a gift when they fall.
• An arsenal thrown from the stands. Shotgun, minigun, piercing railgun, flamethrower, rocket launcher with a real blast radius. Thirty seconds each. Make them count.
• A multiplier with no ceiling. It climbs for as long as you go untouched:  x10, x15, beyond. One hit halves it. Greed is the format.
• Co-op two ways. Press B for CAM-BOT, an AI partner who revives you when you fall, or press H and send a friend a link for online co-op. No install on either end.
• A presenter with an arc. He starts the night polished and amoral. By the finale, the control room has stopped answering. Listen to him.
