A lot of things about the game \'\'are\'\' pretty terrifying if you think about them. They\'re shoved into this game because there was no way to know it was anything \'\'but\'\' a harmless game, and then they\'retold they have to fight monsters and kill the Black King for some vague reward while also being told they can never go home again because their planet and everyone on it is dead and there\'s absolutely nothing they can do about it. And I guess this strays a bit into WMG territory, but the players\' horrible deaths seem to be inevitable as well. Even the trolls, who seem to be one of the only groups to ever beat the game, are still going to die (and they\'re gonna experience it \'\'twice\'\', once as their dreamselves, once in real life). The rift could even be a failsafe to ensure that everyone\'ll be wiped out. Don\'t kick the bucket in your own session? Let\'s have these other guys unwittingly finish you off. There\'s also the fact that if one person in the group fails, everyone else does too; future Dave and Rose, if he hadn\'t been able to travel back, would have been stuck there literally forever until either a monster managed to kill them or they committed suicide.
