The 4th wall, is a “imaginary” wall that separated the audience(a example could be You, yes you, the one looking at me) and the character(a actor, video game character, anything that is behind the screen).when people say “breaking the 4th wall” it mean the character is interacting with the audience, not like “NPC to player”(a example would be, asking the player about quest), but more like “NPC to the person behind the screen”(example: you play overwatch, then play the untitlcard, then you tried to kill a NPC, who tell you “hey /your real name/ how about you play overwatch?then you can watch ur teammates die, not us”). breaking the 4th can happen in game, TV show
but don’t worry if they talk to you, if intend by the developers/directors, but if the character behind the screen know ur IP address, home, telephone number
here’s a advice “run”
Example 1 (not really)
NPC “don’t break the 4th wall (your real name), now shut the window 9 computer right now”
Bobo *delete game save*
NPC “are you trying to kill me? I saw you cheating on your gf, I’m gonna tell her”
Bobo “you can’t even do tha-
GF “why did I saw pictures of you with another girl?”
Bobo “oh-
Example 2:
Tim “buddy
do you think someone is watching us?
Joe “you mean that guy who’s now staring at me and listening to all our conversations from the start?”
Guy “MOMMY! JOE IS TALKING TO ME, MOMMY!”
mommy “don’t worry honey, he’s just breaking the 4th wall”
