"The fiftieth annual Squid Games is upon us.

They're hidden among our players in plain sight, here to make sure they keep things interesting."

Rydia Amsel didn't have any ties in Asia. No contacts, no clients, no friends or family. It was supposed to be a place to finally create a life of her own.
The 23-year-old had decided to settle near Seoul, in Yeongcheon, about two hours away from the capitol city. It wasn't the prettiest, but it was cheap enough and she had found work in Seoul in an animal shelter.
