    pretty sure if it hasn't been outright said it's implied that demon lord is trying to learn about humans to try and bridge the gap so they can live in peace

    8 kids 1 mario kart match. Top 4 lives the other dies. We can't support 8 kids. They have to battle it out themselves. Then we go to Halo CE on Heroic or Legendary. The one who makes progress gets food and accommodations. Then the one who wants to live the longest needs to complete all Dark Souls trilogy and for extra allowance 100% Bloodborne.

    Honestly, I feel like it was quite a fitting ending
    It ended with the loop starting over once again, in the exact same way it started
