Are Squid Game and House of Secrets really two different shows?

There are some common points between two hit Netflix shows--Squid Game and House of Secrets.

Fine, Squid Game and House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths are two tonally different shows, but are they actually?

House of Secrets is a bizarre, shocking truth that lives within us, among us, around us, all the time. We have seen otherwise happy people going for astrologers, babas and even tantriks in distress. Can we accuratey predict when can they take a totally wrong turn? Or, start behaving in a life-threatening manner?

Squid Game also has the same approach. It plays on our fears, our dark sides and a will to break out of shackles and have fun at any cost!
