Infamous Keepers, I think, might be a game about the games industry. It's not about making games explicitly, not in the slightest. It is a tower defence roguelite, one where you run a dungeon, with this as the narrative setup, however: "Your employer, the Dungeon Company, has recently gone through massive layoffs, putting their dungeons to the test by closing the portals that connect them… if a team of heroes makes it all the way through, you can kiss your career goodbye." You do have to replace a few words to get back to our reality, but there's certainly a resemblance to the one we live in.
