The 4th Wall

This is a horror/psychological game that originated as an Xbox 360 Indie Game, and eventually moved on to also be included for the PC. As you could probably guess by this short little game's name, what end up doing/attempt to do is to break the 4th wall (if you don't know what that means, then you haven't been sucked in by internet, and you're lucky). You're not really given any beginning info, and all you see if a circle, and there is you behind you, a black wall in front, a white wall to your left, and a static wall to your right. The game takes you through events involving those walls, and also take part with the big hanging thing that is over you (I'm not gonna even start guessing what it is). As you get closer and closer to the end, you can easily tell that the wall is closer and closer to breaking. If my memory serves me, there isn't a clear ending in the PC version, but there is in the Xbox 360 version. I first played this on the 360 when my friend downloaded it and had me play it because it was supposed to be very scary, and I really enjoyed it. It's good because it's got just a bit of horror to keep you on your feet, enough of a psychological feel to make you keep thinking, and of course, I enjoy anything that breaks the 4th wall.
