It’s not scary.
It’s just angrily intriguing.
Of all things, they chose to depict children’s games.
This means they’re harkening back to the days of youth and meaning, but with a survivalist twist of natural selection.
The experiences, memories, and legacy of a kid, and the hunger games mindset of an adult.
It’s any other variety show, but the player’s actual lives are at stake.
It’s nostalgic that the show ends with people trying to reveal the truth behind the game.

And significantly nostalgic that the one who runs the game is rather aged himself.

All of it just for business. To him, the ends justified the means.
