got_quietName: MetaWare High School
Status: Complete (yes really)
Site: https://not-fun-games.itch.io/metaware-high-school
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Gen
Description: It's meta, it's in a highschool, but it's about a demo.
As the title suggests, this is another game that demolishes the fourth wall and then sets the wall on fire once it's been ground to dust. In the first scene three of the characters notice you, the player, have arrived, and welcome you with excitement. They were waiting for you to show up, you see so they can show you the demo. There are five of them, looking kind of like complete characters except they have no eyes. I'm not a fan of the no eyes thing, but it actually figures into the plot.

I'm not a huge fan of games that are almost nothing but a wink wink meta deconstruction. I play mostly for escapism so a game that insists on telling you you are playing a game over and over is an annoyance more than anything. However, if you're going to take pure distilled meta narrative and try to make it entertaining, this does as good a job of it as I've found.
