Harsh Realm is the virtual world featured in the sci-fi TV series of the same name, by X-Files creator Chris Carter. Harsh Realm is a digital copy of the real world, altered to simulate the results of nuclear war. It was taken over by a dictator-to-be named Santiago, who has plans to conquer the real world after he completes his takeover of Harsh Realm. Hobbes, the main character, was one of many sent in to kill Santiago - but few risk their lives against Santiago's army to do so anymore.
