This one is definitely marked as being like Jumanji and while I do see that in the whole having to play the game, the fact the group has to make their way through a set up outside of their own world before a time limit is up was more like Jim Hensen's The Labyrinth. Especially the whole forgetting if you break rules you don't know about. 

I found Dax's whole thing kind of intriguing. Like how he'd forgotten who and what he really was. And how he was totally willing to just drop his whole world to help them. I liked it. 

I'm definitely curious to look more into the worlds presented in the book, Japanese underworld and the game. It was an interesting inspiration of course. I did like this book very much and plan to keep going with the author.
