Such a based game.
Many games released in 10s tried too hard to do this "this game knows you exist" thing which eventually became so overdone that many good examples of that trope now can only annoy you. However I think The Magic Circle is an exception that stood the test of time, mainly because this "meta" thing serves the narrative purpose and translates the main ideas of the game really well. Bad and arrogant creators drive their games into development hell on the one side and crazy fans and gamers act entitled believing they are owed something on the other. Still relevant today, just as it was in 2015 and years before that. And the gameplay is great, almost forgot how fun the main mechanic is.
