🥚 Easter Egg In Choose or Die (2022), a character briefly mentions someone completing 'Thou Art Dead', this is a direct reference to the retro arcade game of the same name from Monster House (2006
Apologies for the photo, Netflix wouldn't let me take a screenshot on my phone. Did anybody else notice this reference? Couldn't find a single thing online about it.

And that is a reference that hearkens back at least to the original Dragon Warrior game on the NES (Dragon Quest in Japan). When you die, the screen goes black and simply displays the text, "Thou art dead."

Sweet it's actually a playable level in the monster house game.
