  Game idea: narrative focused crpg, with a relatively straightforward plot, but the protagonist remembers every time you reload and his every death, progressively tries to figure out what’s happening, all while trying to actually succeed the original plot because that also seems important.

    Some options I know of:

    • The Forgotten City
    • Deathloop
    • Stuck in Time

      All good, but not enough fourth wall fuckery in those time loops

        Maybe the closest that I know of so far: Rue Valley?

    Slay the Princess kind of goes in that direction.

      I hear good things about it, but am not particularly one for horror, still considering picking it up at some point though

        It is horror, but it’s also not horror. StP brings so much more than just horror, it has comedic moments, romantic moments, thoughtful moments, and plenty of WTF moments. And, how it all plays out depends on what you choose.

        Steam has a two hour return policy, so I would recommend getting the game, and trying out the opening to see what you think. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re the type who likes to think deep thoughts about the universe like OP posted, then you’ll probably enjoy this game.

    Undertale is this but it’s not focused on too heavily unless you play multiple routes.

    Deltarune I think has this kind of plot with the protagonist having an antagonist relationship to the player controlling them, but it’s more focused on player-made choices instead of save mechanics.

    I would also like to nominate In Stars and Time, which is about timeloops and is very meta but not in the fourth wall breaking way.

    Not a game, but I remember a choose your own adventure style video series on YouTube where if you choose some early bad ends, the main character will start acting more and more reluctant to follow your choices.
