Just by reading it frame by frame, yes. The first frame looks like a typical job interview. The second frame gives a twist about RPG weaknesses. The third frame gives another twist that the interviewer can "now" finally kill the interviewee, meaning he's been trying but failing before, meaning that the job interview was a trap. The rest is just building on that story, and is not at all what the first frame seemed to be, having undergone 3 twists in a row into a full blown chess master manga.

It looks like you got stuck on the context of the first frame and you're still thinking the boss is weird for trying to kill his employee, and you're not registering the new information and the changes in context that the following frames added and kept building up on.
