This could be seen as a more figurative sense as well, by how the frightening place with all the dangers is the internal conflicts that people have to deal with. Adventures with Anxiety is a great example for that, with how the objective of the game is to struggle with the human's internal anxiety as the wolf and make sure that the human doesn't do anything bad. Dealing with those internal conflicts could lead to that mental freedom, which is the great reward that is mentioned.

This sentence ties to the big idea that when on a story journey, you should be questioning why everything is happening, even if we don't get all the answers we are looking for. This is similarly seen in Adventures With Anxiety, with how each of the choices makes you think about how it would have been different with another choice and what caused the specific reaction. Overall, it ends with you wondering whether or not you made all the right choices still and you won't truly know unless you play the game again.
