The whimsical aspect of gaming takes a sinister turn as David realizes he is being manipulated—not just by the game mechanics but also by his own father, who unknowingly controls his fate. Jeff inadvertently directs David to fail repeatedly, each death in the game echoing harshly in reality. As David interacts with the game’s characters, he loses sight of the joyous moment they shared, feeling more alienated than ever, especially when he surpasses his father’s score.
