Squid Game: RPG

In South Korea, hundreds of people who are in debt, desperate, or marginalized by society receive a mysterious invitation to participate in a series of children's games with the promise of winning 45.6 billion won. However, they soon discover that these competitions come with a deadly price: if you lose, you die.

Players are taken to an isolated facility where they must overcome six trials inspired by traditional Korean games. Under the watchful eye of mysterious masked guards and a master of ceremonies known as the Front Man, the competitors confront not only each other but also moral corruption, betrayal, and human despair.

As the games progress, the protagonist Seong Gi-hun, a kind-hearted man with a disastrous life, struggles to survive without losing his humanity, while discovering the dark secrets behind the organization that orchestrates the entire spectacle.
