There is a really interesting Doom mod. It’s called My House. There was a YouTube video done on it.
That is one stunning mod. It goes from "Oh neat, a 10 year old modeled his house in Doom" to "What the hell?!" in a very short time.
Watched this a few months ago. Started out as an interesting idea for a video. Thought I'd save it for later and move on after watching the first 10 minutes since it was going to be like watching a full length movie. I ended up watching a bit more and was looking for a good place to stop and finish another time. ... I ended up staying up to finish it, as the story just got more and more intriguing, the longer I watched. (Two Thumbs up)
Of all the places I would expect to see something about myhouse.wad, this is not one of them.
InB4 someone mentions Doki Doki Literature Club. I can't remember all the weird shit that it had, but when you complete the game it corrupts the game files so you can't play again.
That's a game I can only play once, and I suppose you only really need to. But knowing the things that happen now I don't think I could go back even if there is more to do. Very interesting and well done game but it's fucking harrowing.
For similar 4th wall breaking but with lot less mind horror check out OneShot.
Maybe not exactly what you were getting at but the start of Prey (2017) really stands out to me. I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't played it, but it's was one of the few times a game actually made me pause to seriously reflect the situation.
If you do get the game don't look at any reviews or guides if you get stuck before you reach the Talos 1 Lobby.
Massive spoiler for the first hour of the game, seriously don't read unless you don't play games:

You take a helicopter ride from an apartment to take some tests before you are to go to a space station. Only one of the testers is attacked by something alien and you are knocked out by a test chamber's gas. You wake up on the same day back in your apartment, but this time there's a dead person in the hall way and you're stuck in the apartment building. Breaking the window of your apartment (something you aren't prompted to even do) reveals the entire space you traveled the prior day has been theater conducted inside a massive testing chamber already on the space station you were told you were heading to.
Video on it:
Yeah that section really hit hard. Also loved Mick Gordon's soundtrack :)
What really made it was that it was a slow boil and the lack of instruction towards the tail end of that part.
I Want To Be The Guy was a brutally difficult side scroller platformer. You can find play throughs online to see how challenging it is. On top of being difficult, it was also pretty buggy and would frequently crash popping up the Windows XP send error report dialog.
In one level, you see the dialog show up, but the game is actually still running. And if you don’t act fast, the dialog box crashes down and crushes the player.
Inscryption.
I am not at liberty to elaborate.

Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem had a bunch of fun effects as your character lost their sanity. In the game, you might start seeing blood dripping on the walls, or statues would turn their heads to follow you, but there were some meta ones too like having the game mute with the “mute” text showing up on the screen making it look like you sat on the remote or randomly throwing up the “controller disconnected” message right when you entered a room with a bunch of enemies.
One of the best ones was when you opened the menu to save progress, it fudged the controls to make you think you accidentally deleted your save file.
For about a year, everytime I took a screenshot in EVE Online all my USB devices would uninstall and reinstall. Never occured in any other situations.
Try DDLC. Don't watch any spoilers or even search it up in anything other than Steam or look at the comments. You will be spoiled.
Edit: DDLC = Doki Doki Literature Club
Can't find a game called DDLC. You might want to put the full name if you are trying to tell people about a new game
Doki Doki Literature Club
Mb. Edited the comment.
When Spyro 3 was being made, aggressive piracy was a huge thing. So the developers decided to design the game so that crude copies of it would play a highly modified, unwinnable and intentionally buggy version of the game that didn't reveal its existence as unwinnable until half-way through the game where the save fairy gives you the warning this meme conveniently displays. Guess what "game" my introduction to Spyro was?
Animal Crossing City Folk bricked my Wii U, it was probably unrelated but I like to think Resetti just had enough of my shit
Aaand stay out!
Buddy Simulator 1984.
I had a failing GPU give me wallhacks in Counter-Strike once. The textures got all rainbow colored, but were also transparent.
That actually sounds beautiful
