The thesis of The Magic Circle is "video games are harder to make than you think." You play as some kind of entity that is playing through an unfinished game while the developers argue around you, unable to make decisions. Past failures, deadlines, and bruised egos fly around as the devs talk. The story is pretty clunky, and the acting can be dubious at times, but overall this is an enojyable and short experience. With some unique gameplay mechanics, like collecting enemies which you hack into to alter and have fight beside you because you have no combat skills, this slightly hamfisted romp trough the pains of shipping a video game ends up pretty enjoyable.
