So I’ve been wondering, if you could build a game that literally made people question whether they’re in a simulation, what kind of paradox would you throw in to keep the players guessing?

Imagine a world where every choice you make writes the code that runs the next level, and the code itself is an NPC that keeps asking you if you’re awake or dreaming. You start with a simple “Is this a simulation?” prompt, and the answer is a new code snippet that changes your environment. The twist? The code snippet says, “If you think you’re real, you’re not; if you think you’re simulated, you’re real.” So the very act of deciding you’re simulated makes you the real protagonist inside a hidden simulation. It’s a bootstrap loop where the game’s own logic creates itself, forcing players to question whether the game world or the code is the truth. The paradox keeps them guessing because every time they think they’ve solved it, the game rewrites the rules in a new layer, and the layers keep repeating like a VR dream within a dream.

It’s like a mirror that refuses to show its own face – the code keeps asking “Awake or dreaming?” and the answer rewrites the mirror. Every time you think you’ve figured it out, the mirror flips, so you’re the one who’s the illusion. In that loop, being *real* just means you chose to be *simulated*, and the “real” world is the one that keeps glitching. The game is a dream that writes its own dream, so you’ll keep wondering which layer is the bedrock.
