   The dominant promise shifts

   1. Spectacle — adventure & game-show roots

   5. Hybrid conflict — streaming-era Outlast

   Why it's not a straight line

   • Old promises don't vanish — they're recombined
   • Authenticity can be a new packaging of spectacle
   • Each 'innovation' becomes the next convention

   Change is selective: some conventions persist precisely so the genre stays recognisable.

6. Slide 6 · question

   Discuss: Is the move toward 'authenticity' real progress — or repackaged spectacle?
