Well it would be assumed the player would be eliminated and would remain dead until someone wins the game. Obviously it’s just speculation but I’d guess it would take a hostage and find a way to find a new player to reach the desired number of players.

I think you’ve got it. But I wonder if it would need to find another player to replace that one. The game is clearly trying to kill you, but would it consider the player eliminated and skip their turn when they die?

Trying to is a hard thing to define in the game. The fact that it can flat out rewrite time shows an absurd amount of power, while I didn’t watch the sequels I’m assuming it’s motives aren’t known, and the fact that it has as much power as it does, and never resulted in killing a player, and in fact due to time travel schenanigans actually saved 2 lives would lead me to believe that it could be all knowing and altruistic.
Or possibly just neutral, or a game for survival training. Maybe everyone dying is just “losing”, which would also trigger a rewind and reset just like winning does.
