In a dimly lit room, the mercenaries from Team Fortress 2 awaken one by one, disoriented and confused. The walls are stark and featureless, and the air is thick with tension. As they gather their senses, they realize they are not alone; dozens of contestants, dressed in identical tracksuits, surround them, eyes wide with fear. Heavy, brushing off the confusion, looks around and growls.

"What is this place? Heavy does not like this!"

Suddenly, a loudspeaker crackles to life, and a masked figure appears on a stage at the front of the room.

"Welcome to the Squid Game," the figure announces in a chilling tone. "You will compete in a series of games for a chance to win a life-changing prize. But be warned: failure comes with dire consequences."

As the contestants are herded into a large outdoor arena, the ominous atmosphere thickens. Brightly colored sets and playgrounds juxtapose the grim reality of the games they must face. The first game is announced: "Red Light, Green Light." The mercenaries exchange glances, each contemplating how their skills can be leveraged to navigate this deadly twist on a childhood classic. The rules are simple: when the giant doll at the end of the field calls out "Green Light," the contestants can move. But at "Red Light," they must freeze. The twist? Any movement detected during "Red Light" means instant elimination.
