Existentialism is a movement that progresses through literature more than any other philosophical movements. This situation appears in two ways in the literary world. The first is that some existential philosophers such as Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus often express their understanding of existentialism directly through literary genres such as novels, plays, and stories. For example, Sartre's The Age of Reason, Nausea, The Wall and Camus's The Stranger are the most typical examples of this kind of reflection. Another form of existentialism’s reflection in literature is that existentialism is a movement that feeds directly from life. It is the result of the existential phenomenon inherently taking place in the works of artists who try to explain life and people in all aspects according to the law of instrument. In this article, the phenomena of anxiety and freedom that have an existential value in the novels The Untold and Dangerous Games by Father, who aims to explain the individual in all aspects by using different narration techniques, will be investigated. While doing this analysis, anxiety and freedom phenomena will not be evaluated separately, but through their relationships with each other. For this purpose, firstly, it will be explained how the existentialist philosophers such as Jean Paul Sartre, Martin Heidegger, Soren Kierkegaard look at these phenomena in their works. Then, how these phenomena emerged in Untold and Dangerous Games will be discussed.
