I've saw the creators of The Amazing Digital Circus compare it to I spy (never heard of) and I have no mouth and must scream (heard of). I feel future episodes will make these parallels more prominent while giving its own twist, but the vibe it passed me was from dark fairy stories (in particular, the adaption of Changeling The Lost).

Caine is the creator of that world and he's likely to be an AI, there's something so alien in how he's so whimsical and excited for everything, while being completely unable to understand and empathize with the poor mortals that he brought to his realm. Although in dark fairy stories the intentions of the fairies are translated into something dark and eldritch, the kids show aesthetic does differentiate the digital circus from other settings.

Caine doesn't seem to be malicious, so far, and thus he's also unable to think about his actions in a way that would dissuade him from doing what he's doing. A digital fairy. He mutated the poor mortals he brought to him realm and then discards them when they can't take it anymore and let themselves to be abstracted.

I really wonder how it'll go from there. Usually dark fairy stories don't tend to have happy endings, things worse than death might await the mortals and, even when they escape, they have to deal with the scars. So far, for the pilot, it seems it'll be something like that.
