Both are Japanese shows centered around characters that get stuck in a mysterious survival game against their will. The mind games are awesome! While the consequence of losing in Liar Game is debt, losing equals death in Alice In Borderland. Both shows have a lot of suspense and a strong male/female duo without romance, where the male leads are unexpectedly overpowered (but the ML in AIB is just as clueless as the FL in Liar Game). While the writing in Liar Game focuses more on the value of the characters' individual personality traits, Alice In Borderland deals more with the social dynamics of people trying to survive in a dystopia. Small disclaimer: Alice In Borderland includes extreme violence.

They're both Netflix productions from 2020! Sweet Home gives the same dark vibes, not in the sense of a competition, but where you're following the (cynical) social dynamics between people trying to survive in a dystopia. In Sweet Home, there's not a game system, but rather the characters fighting different monsters. There's also the same concept of an innocent/clueless main character who's *overpowered*. I could go on and on about both of these, but basically, if you love dark supernatural thriller dramas, these are absolute gems!
