    Just guessing.

    Yes, in one or the other form… basically some form of incentive to do something without which you die.

    For example the “soul gem” in “Puella Magi Madoka Magica”, technically different but same principle, used to clean your soul. Slightly different see extreme similarly see Snake Plissken in Escape from L.A.

    In game-esque terms it’s like the “Mod-Soul pill” in Bleach to re-power.

    Another approach is BTooom where you need to obtain weapons to keep fighting/surviving.

    Edit: [continuing]

    In Liar Games it’s money.

    In “No Game No Life” every game is a sort of survival game but the last one maximizes it, even though the anime ignores the rules. Here, you use a gun to shoot and prevent being attacked. However, it uses up energy which can only be regained by hitting certain targets/con-/reverting allies (forgot exactly what).

    There are more interesting manga/anime/novel games I don’t remember right now.
