After watching the second episode, I went through various analyses and found that there are roughly two types of conclusions: the male protagonist is dead and the male protagonist is not dead. This article only analyzes the death of the male protagonist, and you are welcome to leave a message in the comment area if you are not dead.
——————Body dividing line————
What actually happened:
The male protagonist entered the laboratory and was turned off by the female staff (actually not turned off).
At 5:35, the contract was signed. After the female staff left, the male protagonist began to take pictures and send text messages. The female worker came back, put the disc, and put a metal ring around her neck.
At 5:38, the game download started. At this time, the progress of the lights in the circle was three bars full, and the male protagonist's mobile phone rang.
At five thirty-eight minutes + 0.04 seconds, the male protagonist died suddenly. At this time, the three-bar lights on the circle turn red abnormally. Then, the boss entered the laboratory to summarize with the female staff. The electromagnetic interference of the phone calls made the equipment out of control, and all the brain nerves of the male protagonist were suddenly activated to death.
The male protagonist's brain activity within 0.04 seconds after the phone rings:
The bell rang, the female staff member turned off the phone, circled the progress lights were full, and started whack-a-mole. Leaving the laboratory, meeting the Japanese boss, starting the second round of the game in the boss's office, and officially entering the villa.
In the villa, we can roughly be divided into three levels of fear patterns: the superficial spider and the so-called sudden shock of the so-called middle school classmates, the middle-level reporter girl's sense of confusion after entering, and the deep fear of her own dementia like her father. After the male protagonist stopped the game, he returned home and entered the ultimate fear, that is, his mother did not know him, reflecting his emotional indifference to him. Seeing his mother call him, he is connected to the missed call that he died in reality.
————Personal understanding of this episode————
The reason why Saito's horror game company is successful is that his games don't stay on the stimulation of the senses, but further excavate the weaknesses of people's hearts. And the medium they use is VR technology. The concept of horror games is to use the contrast between psychological fear and realistic safety to relieve stress. The horror of VR is that VR enables people to experience inner fears come true (your brain thinks it comes true). This experience process is similar to having a nightmare, and the images presented are actually our memories in reality.
The male protagonist saw the boss's photo in the magazine before → the image of the boss in the VR world
From the spider on the staff's clothes that the male protagonist saw after entering the company → the spider after entering the villa
I saw the ghost image of the staff making the horror game → the figure and the face spider after entering the villa
The action of the female reporter inserting a knife when cooking in the morning → the female reporter in the villa approached the table with a knife step by step
Vr uses the memory of the male protagonist's brain as reinforced concrete, and is constructed as a bridge to the inner weakness. The male protagonist's desire for family and family, and the demonization of the mysterious game company's VR products are all the fears in the male protagonist's heart discovered by the computer.

A few pieces of evidence about the death of the male lead:
1. If the male protagonist wears a circle for the first time, it is the separation of virtual imagination and reality. Then, in the three descriptions of the image of the boss, twice the hoodie is a combination of the magazine and himself. So where did the last dress imagination for a suit come from? So the last boss should be the real boss.
2. The setting is that it is a game to bring the circle on and take off the circle from the same place. If it is understood from the death of the male protagonist, the first tape and the last pick are in the laboratory, which happens to be a complete cycle.
The above is my understanding. As for the dead and not dead, they are theoretically sound, and the benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom.
