Kayaba Akihiko did a slightly better job of making a game, and instead of making Sword Art Online, he makes Oasis Online, an adaptation of a game of a similar name from a favorite movie of his, Ready Player One.
Now with his Nerve Gear out to the masses, the beta and the exclusive VIP Japan pre-release a success, Kayaba is ready. And for millions of players everywhere, Oasis suddenly becomes a Death Trap that they must all try to survive, dealing with a mixture of puzzles and trivia, as well as clearing out the floating central tower of Aincrad that's appeared in the middle of The Hub.
