You are the protagonist of an unfinished 1st person fantasy game, trapped in development hell. The designers (played by James UrbaniakAshly 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.

 
 
 
If you love games at all - or just like poking fun at how they’re made - you cannot miss this gem. The Magic Circle is the best “broken” game you’ve ever played - and a rich satire of the industry to boot. The hype is real. Play this game.

I’ve been amazed. I’ve been dumbfounded [...] Few games have done that to me - so I would immensely recommend that you get and play this game.
