You're living an otherwise normal life when weird things start happening. You find yourself hearing voices or seeing things you never were aware of before. You find yourself bound by strange rules and, when they come into conflict with what you had accepted as physical laws, it's often physics that break first. You're still in the same world and your friends and family are living out their lives. If you have a day job or a school schedule you may still have to show up, even if it means facing endless repetitions of what you remember. Congratulations, you're at the corner of a Game Mechanics Verse and a Broken Masquerade. There's many ways your path can take and, even surrounded by familiar people, you might be forced to go alone. |

The bottom screen in Shin Megami Tensei IV doesn't even exist until you get your cyber-gauntlet, as part of the hero discovering that his quasi-medieval society is simply the surface. It provides mapping functions, Augmented Reality for icons to appear in dungeons, and a menu screen for controlling your demons. | |

Lab Assistant Elliot Torres plays with this in Blood Stain. When she falls asleep on the autoclave on her first day of work, she hallucinates that she's wielding the Magic Staff and wearing the tiara from her Moonstone Gate character. Several comedic moments are punctuated with elements such as Critical Hits and stat boosts for successful actions. | |

In Persona 3: The Movie and Persona 4: The Animation everyone levels up following the rules of their console versions, but only one or two support characters on each team get the benefit of Stat-O-Vision, generally either through wearing a Magitek visor or being fully encased in a Persona. | |

My Hero Playthrough gives one of these to Izuku Midoriya. Anyone he invites into his party gets a more limited version, for as long as they are a party member. Izuku's version also includes a Heads-Up Display, which he frequently turns off as he finds it distracting and a bit morbid. | |

Harry Potter and the Munchkins by Schwepcn has Harry Potter gaining video game powers on his eleventh birthday. In this Alternate Universe, all wizards are players so discussions of maximizing feats and stats are everywhere, but Harry is the only empowered protagonist alive (owls are his justfied save points). Keeping his reloading abilities secret he takes Save Scumming to epic levels with at least one time-turning raid on the Ministry and entire years of alternate timelines spent at Brazil and New Zealand wizarding schools. Solo adventure although Luna is apparently living through all branching paths at once. | |

The World Is Full Of Monsters Now has this as a central premise. The first time a human kills a monster, a voice resonates in their head and informs them of the RPG Mechanicsverse that Earth has become, even providing a stat sheet window that only the human in question can see. The RPG elements take over from there. | |

Subverted by Homestuck. No-one, besides possibly John, seems surprised that Sburb creates and manipulates physical matter. Programming languages like ~ATH / Til De Ath can alter reality anyway. The class and tier system are game elements, but the countdown doesn't create the meteors. They were already there. The Peggy Sue loop only happens when they're already Trapped In Game Land. The layered Broken Masquerade, however, is played very straight. |

Persona 3 has the protagonist stumble into what amounts to a pocket universe that's merging with the real world. Awakening his Persona allows him to feel when his stats go up, usually in town or at school, and the Social Links he makes enhance his affinity for the Suits of Tarot cards he uses in patterns on a Fusion Table to summon entities. The protagonist and most of his team even have the option to reconstruct the Masquerade for themselves, although this is not a good thing. |

When Dongtae accidentally rolls one of the Dice: The Cube That Changes Everything he allows a nebulous Game Master access to his phone. The Objectives provided give him more dice which he uses to boost his previously hidden Character Sheet which had unluckily been all ones. It's apparent from one of the sequences that all souls in his world roll for their permanent stats before starting a new life, but forget everything on being born. | |

Shinobi The RPG, a Self-Insert Fic by Fulcon, grants the protagonist a Fallout: New Vegas character manual to help him max out his stats in the world of Naruto. His outside perspective at first allows him to kill for experience points without remorse, but fulfilling one of the main quests of his personal arc brings a harsh perspective on the consequences and meaning of his own actions and the world around him... | |

Hermione Granger: The Witching Hour (Harry Potter, The Gamer): Just before dying in the Bad Future, Hermione reaches the Room of Requirement while yearning for a new opportunity to Set Right What Once Went Wrong. Lo and behold, a parchment scoring her life suddenly appears, followed by an interface presenting her with a New Game Plus option and poping tutorials among other things. It's so unexpected and Hermione too unaccustomed to gamer culture that she first thinks the universe is mocking her. | |

In Infinite Leveling Murim, When Yuseong passes the entrance exam he originally failed, he is offered the choice of different rewards ranging from a Cool Sword to a special medicine that will boost his Gi permanently. However, thanks to Gihu Jang knocking him off-balance when selecting his reward, he accidentally selects the 'Third Eye' ability, which grants him this. It allows him to see people's true names, level of strength relative to him, and as he further levels it up, their strength, agility, and Gi capacity. Despite not directly aiding Yuseong's physical performance, it proves to be arguably the most useful ability once he's able to start leveling it up with repeated use. For instance, it allows him to identify the locations and numbers of a large gang of hidden bandits waiting to ambush him during a caravan protection job, even if he can't yet discern their precise stats and names, and forward his allies in time. Another time he meets with a bunch of high-level illusion-proficient Murim warriors, he can tell they're nearby even if he can't see anything about them by the '—' displays hanging in the fog. | |

Greg Veder Vs The World has the eponymous minor character wake up with the ability to upgrade himself through game mechanics. Among other aspects of the genre, it explores how dehumanizing it can be to see the world as a game, including one segment where Greg is enraged because Gamer's Mind keeps derailing him from properly grieving by identifying the grieving as a negative mental condition and clearing it. | |

In the film adaptation of Jumanji, the classic example of The Game Come to Life, shortly after Alan and Sarah start to play, each roll of the dice unleashing scores of animals and Hostile Weather on the town, Alan gets sucked in and Sarah flees. Years later, she finds out that the game has been running very quietly in the background of her entire adult life. Subverted in that Alan and Sarah only Peggy Sue back to their childhood after the game is over and the damage is undone. They use their adult memories to make better choices this time through. Possibilities include the game rewinding time or it creating a simulated copy of the Earth in a pocket reality and running it for years. As opposed to Zathura; while it's quickly apparent to the characters in that movie that they're Trapped in TV Land, Sarah has no idea that she still is too. |

My Mental Choices Are Completely Interfering with My School Romantic Comedy: Protagonist lives with Visual Novel mechanics forced onto his personal life: he's occasionally forced to pick his next action out of a very limited list of choices presented to him by the unseen Narrator and supernaturally appearing text. The choices are twisted, audacious, flippant, inescapable, loaded, reality-bending, never explained, never foreshadowed. Thank God it's a romantic comedy and he's trying his best to be a nice guy. | |

Naruto: Game of the Year Edition by Majin Hentai X, has a Naruto Peggy Sue from his death at the Valley of the End to an arena of unlockable avatar statues. Each statue is a timeline in need of repair and the dedicated sysadmin staff may actually be Shinto gods. The amount of severe Game Breaking Bugs means that Jiraiya gets signed on as support staff. Too bad he's a target for assassins from soon after his birth... Each death before he receives his headband means he has to start over from the beginning and it takes him a long time to make it to that first checkpoint. | |

Worldof Warcrafthas a questline where this happens for the player character. While it's perfectly normal for NPCs to refer to things like "quests"and "mana", they don't usually refer to themselves as "questgivers" or otherwise talk like they know they are in an MMORPG. However, if you level through the undead starting zone you eventually get a quest to be a questgiver. You sit on a horse, and for some mysterious reason are unable to move (even though most horses in the game are perfectly capable of at least walking forwards slowly). You even get a yellow exclamation mark over your head. Three erm...eccentric characters who break the fourth wall constantly come to you after a few minutes, and you give them instructions. You do so, in exactly the same way that NPCs do. Though the AI-controlled "players" are not silent the way your character is typically represented. Although unlike you, these three blockheads can't seem to actually complete the quests you give them and need rescues. Still, the point is that at least some people in this world seem to realize they're in a simulation. Justified, given that Azeroth has been through three world wars, a world-ending threat and a global natural disaster in just 35 years (which makes the real world look idyllically peaceful by comparison). Surely some of them are realizing that the only logical explanation for all this crap is that they're living in a game world. | |
