These shows don't get second seasons. Stop setting up for second seasons.
This is an interesting concept that, once again, fails in an attempt to set up a twist reveal for a second season that will never come.
Midnight Museum, Home School, Lead Day, and now The Dark Dice. These all were interesting shows that stumbled at the finish line by introducing a plot hook cliffhanger for a continuation, when, instead, they just need to focus on telling a complete, compelling story.
In setting up for the future, this fails to satisfy the present. No character gets a compete arc. No character changes. Don remains Don, set on winning for money. Pie remains Pie, only in the story because of Mark. I hoped for a deeper examination of Samut's desire for praise and acceptance, but I only played myself in wanting a complex character. I hoped for closure to his friendship with Atom and instead got the opening possibility of a romance with Aom. But GMM pink promises all that will be addressed in a second season, I guess.
