Question

The Magic Circle

You are the protagonist of an unfinished 1st person fantasy game, trapped in development hell. The designers (played by James Urbaniak, Ashly Burch, and Karen Dyer) are god-like, but so indecisive that they've given you no powers whatsoever. With the help of a mysterious disembodied voice (Stephen Russell) you must seize the tools of game development from these unworthy 'gods', uncovering more of the darkly comic story as you go.

Publisher's content notice

There is just a smattering of foul language throughout the game. There is one audio log where a character thinks that an invitation to a party might have sexual overtones, but that is quickly revealed to not be the case.
