When I googled rebar as a name, I was surprised that more things weren't named Rebar. It could be a metal band, a movie, anything.
I was worried about the ending too. I'm really not into that '90's/all a dream/dues ex machina' kind of crap, but the video game aspect was the story. Without that, it'd just be a story about some guy bashing in another guy's head with a pool ball, and who has time to read that.
Anyways, thanks for reading!
