BRUH

Well that was not exactly what I was expecting tbh, I truly hope there are side stories or creator notes to explain wth is goin on.

Here’s some of my unanswered questions:
-why exactly did this happen in the first place?
— I’m wondering if the cave was cursed or something. I was also thinking like maybe their minds connected as a way to subconsciously make them fight for life after the accident. But it wouldn’t really make sense since bada had the rope around his wrist

-where exactly did seungchan go?
— this one I am quite interested in finding out, because since he disappeared I feel like you can assume that while they were in the “game” they were not physically in the car. They were spit back out to before they started, they also sustained the injuries they had from the game in real life, so we know that the place they went to was reality in some form. So is seungchan just dead? Lifelessly stuck in the game forever? Or or or get this, he revives again because his tape was never actually removed, so why wouldn’t he come back to life? Unless the final level made it so there was no more revives after this I’m not sure but eh I may have just not been paying attention.

-if bada was a real life person turned Npc, how did that happen?
— so this is why im thinking that seungchan will become an npc.. hear me out. I think bada was trapped in the game before and became the sacrifice just like seungchan did. Would explain why he became an Npc to an extent because th story can’t go on without all of the players, just like jumanji, you gotta have everyone to win and it’s just him alone so he can’t really do much.
— another thing, We know your memories are erased once you beat the “game,” so would it not be safe to assume that if he did beat the game (technically his group since he was sacrificed, if my guess would be correct) before he would have forgotten all about it? That’s why he wouldn’t realize he was an npc at first

-are we even sure it’s really a game?
—yo we got like NO info on ts if it was a game I was expecting to see the creator/developers or just have them show something to us on why this happened, I imagined it coulda been like the hollow or jumanji but we weren’t given any clue. All we have is the pattern pretty much and I mean it makes sense that they would consider it to be a game because how else could your mind cope with the trauma of being murdered repeatedly and sometimes losing your memories. Just like hide and seek, which was made for survival training in the form of a game because kids probably can’t really grasp the concept that their lives could be in danger and threatened or smth like that. So adding on to this, yes there are many game like elements like respawning, different levels of the map, saving progress, npc so it’s understandable they would make it into some kinda game because if there’s no end to this then what point is there even trying, you would literally go insane. I feel like they could have seen it as a game because they needed to give themselves hope that there was a way to get out of this hell. But like I said in another question we literally get no information on who created this place or why it happened so like how exactly could you know has was designed to be a game instead of some other messed up thing.

This is cont of the last question
— who knows maybe it was the cult, they could have died in the cave collapse after perform Some kind of ritual to punish anyone who gets close or they could have had an unfinished ritual and that place was created in order to get their final sacrifice

- did Doha truly lose his memories?
— ok this one I really wanna know because he’s acting differently than the group, he realized something was off and that he lost something. Then at the hospital he stayed with bada for 3 days (I’m assuming like he would periodically check in but like if you don’t know someone and you help them to the hospital how likely are you gonna come visit them to see if they’re ok?). He’s also reaching for badas hand like he subconsciously wants to be close and touch him. And then as soon as bada kisses him and confesses his vibe changes and he looks like the Doha we know but maybe that’s just me. If he didn’t remember at that point I feel like there just needs to be certain triggers for him to remember at least since his body bears the trauma. The mind may forget but the body remembers

Other questions I won’t yap about too much
- why was bada the only one to remember?
-why didn’t he remember going to give his cousin his suitcase?
-seriously though where tf is seungchan? Are they gonna report him missing? I can’t imagine them not doing something if an entire person just disappears much less their friend
-who is the murderer? Could they be someone who was the first person trapped in the game and lowkey went crazy? (Forget if we learned much about him)

YALL TS GOT ME MESSED UP WHAT WAS THAT ENDING ┗( T﹏T )┛ SIDE STORIES EXPLAINNNNN

I don’t think he’s alive, if that was the game ending and they (villagers) got all the tapes where the ritual was being held I doubt they would give them to the “traitor” and Seungchan not being in the real world makes me think that maybe real world him does when the tunnel collapsed

That is a possibility but I still think the game ended with the collapsed tunnel because if there’s no way for new players to access the place where the story start then there’s no way for the story to take place. And Bada was really an npc, he was something like a martyr for the other players to reach the end of the game so I think Seungchan just took that role when he dies in Bada’s place as the one who was in the way of the villagers and killer plan

I really like this theory!!!

I think real players have their memories of the game whipped but since Bada was originally an npc he kept his memory. Doha was always clever so I think he knows or at least senses that he knows Bada and thought I think it may be difficult and even bad if Doha remembers everything since now they are in the real world I still feel bad that he lost his memories and won’t remember how much of a smart baddie Bada is

IMO, I might be wrong!!!

Bada is the only one that retained his memory because he was originally an npc, if he was born on the game’s reality then he will remember the game even after escaping. The others were originally from the real world and even when playing ( at least during the early rounds) they remembered the real world and the lives they had there so when they came back to their original reality the game was forgotten or will be thought of as a dream or something.


Nada didn’t remember giving his cousin the suitcase because he wasn’t originally Seungchan’s cousin, that was just the story they used to get Bada into the game


I think ( just a theory) that he died at the collapsed tunnel, maybe he’s not dead but just missing but I still think that since the last round was the end of the game he may have died there and irl


The killer from what I understood was someone from the village that was mistreated by his family and one day killed them and was embraced by the lunatic villagers that decided he would be the one in charge of killing for the weird rituals that the villagers had and so the villagers were in charge of getting innocent people for the ritual and the killer was supposed to kill them

Yesshh like for doha to act like...can i respond right now.....its doesn't align with his character personality at all....he must have remembered something.....
