Well, there is that but I was thinking more like the world of The Weakest Tamer where everyone has a magical “skill” dictated by how many “stars” they have and the MC has a voice in their head that tells them things they may not know (which goes unheard by the audience but seems to chime in like a player through a screen (or maybe just a ghost)), but otherwise has no obvious tells of being a video game world. Unless you count the MC doing inventory management on the regular.
