"Night Has Come" begins with a promising premise, drawing viewers into an escape-room style reminiscent of films like Saw. The drama initially captivates with its mysterious atmosphere and the intriguing concept of a game that becomes all too real, echoing the life-and-death stakes of "Battle Royale."
However, as the narrative unfolds, the plot becomes increasingly boring as the show stays on the bickering and deception of the Mafia game. But then suddenly gets increasingly convoluted as they try to introduce the missing pieces of the story. The drama attempts to weave together various concepts and ideas all heavily influenced by existing movies and TV shows from The Matrix, to eXistenZ, Last House On The Left and even Black Mirror, but struggles to maintain a coherent storyline or achieve anything particularly new over those existing stories. The mystery that initially adds to the allure soon turns into a labyrinth of convoluted reveals that just lead to a mess.
Also the plot doesn't make sense, the people playing mafia are never aware of the real reason they are there, so the overarching reason for them playing doesn't make sense.
