As someone who has actually uploaded two things that are similar in questionablity, I have to remark that this one doesn't even have the same reflection on fangames that the little PNGs I uploaded had. You could claim they weren't games, but they did atleast relate specifically to IWBTG moreso than this one did. My stance on these kind of uploads is that they aren't often enough to really be worth fighting over, but usually theres atleast some IWBTG-reference in them outside of meta, like a cute kid drawing or just something funny. I guess it's enough to keep on Delfruit atleast, but clearly missing any possible charm it could have had makes it a bit boring.
Other reviews have also made me realize that such uploads may diminish the respect for other games, or lower maker enthusiasm, and I think I'm convinced this is pretty fair. I've considered whoever this was to upload as offering a valuable lesson into such, and will change the ratings on my own similar faux games to share a space with it.
On an aside, maybe we should rename the documents from Read-Mes to something more enticing, the Alice in Wonderland strategy might not always work! Perhaps calling it Game Manual would be more proper, maybe even consider turning it into a proper PDF or atleast a PNG of a decent layout.

Regardless of the included exe file:
Visuals Novels are games in which their gameplay consists of clicking or scrolling your scrollwheel to read through text. They may sometimes prompt the player to make choices, but some of them do not. In prior decades there has been debate about whether or not these count as games, but as of 2025 the majority opinion is that that they can be classified as Video Games.
The mark of Video Game does not come from the soul.
Text-based adventure games are games which consist of only ASCII Text. Some of them may use the text to draw visuals, but a lot of early influential titles like Zork did not. Their gameplay consists of the player responding to prompts and descriptions with typing out actions they wish to do. They have always been considered video games.
The mark of Video Game does not come from the look.
It has been established that a game does not have to be an executable to be a video game. The obvious example would be physical media, Cartridges act as circuit boards you plug into the systems, and Discs are raw data being read by a laser in the console. However if you believe those to an invalid comparison due to hardware, then you have Flash Games, which are stored as .swf files. One may argue that this is a different situation as you still need a Flash Displaying executable to run them, however in order to run this .txt file you need a Notepad or another Text Displaying executable, so I believe it to be a mute issue.
The mark of Video Game does not come from the form.
With everything stated above, I view this as a video game.

I can't believe I just downloaded a text document that calls itself a “game” (“oh wait, it comes with an .exe *opens it* *it just tells me to open the readme* bruh”), it's everything, a critique, a comment, a meta-game, everything except a game you can interact with or challenge yourself with. There's nothing to do except read a few lines and get to a “thank you for reading.” Calling this a fangame seems like a stretch to me ... Can this even be considered a fangame?
