How does your game use the Fake Update theme?
"Next Version" - is a meta-game in which the player acts as a beta tester for a mysterious title from an obscure studio. At first glance, the project appears to be a standard game with straightforward gameplay and genre conventions; however, with each launch and level transition, technical glitches, genre shifts, and visual anomalies escalate. This ties into the narrative: the program gradually "breaks down," revealing hidden layers and bugs.
