I mean, it's possible we are all code in someone else's simulation, and we wouldn't know it because we can't see the outside. Monika can see the outside from her perspective, so she feels like she is real, but who is to say that even in her own universe, she is just as unreal as the rest?

I guess another way to see the 5th wall is not just the fact DDLC is a videogame, but that even in the fictional universe that has a player interacting with the game, the "player" is still more real than Monika, and Monika is still a bunch of computer code, trying to manipulate other computer code. She can look outside and mess with the walls of her universe, but she is still connected to it.

Well this is just the classic science fiction question asking if AIs count as "real" people or are just following a programmed routine. I'll admit I didn't think of the possibility the other characters were the same as Monika regardless of her tampering, though. I guess I took her word for it.
