• The fourth wall is an expression stemming from the world of theater. In most modern theater design, a room will consist of three physical walls, as well as a an imaginary fourth that serves to separate the world of the characters from that of the audience.
    In fiction, breaking the fourth wall often means having a character become aware of their fictional nature. This can range from your character advising you to Press X in a tutorial all the way to Psycho Mantis reading your memory card and mentioning the other games youve been playing. However, the most direct violation of the fourth wall would be a character openly acknowledging they are in a video game or even directly speaking to you, the player, instead of to your character.
