Handbaskets is a digitally enhanced, cyberwitch, demon-summoning battle royale game by Maxwell Lander. Players try to maximize their reputation, take out the competition, and stay alive. But death isn't the end—those who fall are "resleeved" into strange and entertaining new bodies to continue the entertainment.
The barrier between hell and earth has been shattered. Everything is hot (and bloody, and sticky), witchcraft is real, and you can have lunch with a demon any day of the week. With death having lost almost all meaning thanks to the technological development of sleeves, the number one entertainment of the times is a series of extreme bloodsports, intended to appease the gods (the devilish ones) through bloody sacrifice.
