The Game at Carousel: A Horror Movie LitRPG

Riley and his friends are trapped in Carousel, a town where horror movies unfold in deadly reality. Assigned the weak Film Buff archetype—a role doomed to die early—Riley initially resigns himself to a grueling cycle of death and respawn. But when he unlocks the *Oblivious Bystander* trope, he discovers a loophole: monsters ignore him if he convincingly acts unaware of them. What seems like a joke ability becomes his lifeline as he twists horror tropes against the system, turning perceived weakness into cunning advantage. Survival hinges on his ability to play the fool while outsmarting killers straight out of his worst nightmares—but in Carousel, even the rules are out for blood.
