Squid Game
Squid Game"The purpose of the game is simple: leave this ship alive."
"I have a secret game I'd like to play. It's a very nice game. Oh, it's a lovely game. It's a game of fun and a game of adventure! A game of rats and lice and the Black Death. A game of speared eyeballs and dripping guts and the smell of rotting gardenias. Which one of you five would like to play my little game?"
"Behind one of these doors is Eurydice. Behind the other one is your death."
Hades, Shredder Orpheus
