Attack On Titan: Online

In the year 2029 the first VR game came into existence, after the beta tests were over more than 15,000 people bought the game. In all the broadcasts over the world the only mission in the game was to survive until the rumbling was over.
The amount of time taken to create it wouldn't allow a different storyline from the original, but as it was the first VR game known to man it was more than enough for everyone as it also had a free world mode where you could go anywhere.
Shockingly, after the first few hours of gameplay the players were met with the gruesome reality that they couldn't log out. The world around them morphed and they could actually feel pain and die.
The creator of the game assured them that if someone was to die they would die in the real world...
The only way to escape was to finish the game, to see the rumbling finish.
Truly, this was an Attack On Titan.
