A lead-in cut scene for a game like Half-Life or Portal that ostensibly takes place in a workplace, where the back story is just a bunch of reply-all emails, a passive aggressive birthday card message, and increasingly poor performance reviews.
"I'm not exactly sure how this started, other than on the Finance floor, and somehow having to do with bringing a pie to a birthday lunch and not cake. These people are sick. I don't even know if I'm a good guy, or a bad guy. There's a huge difference, but I can't even tell."

Great novel, "Stand On Zanzibar." John Brunner. Written in 1969 and set in the early 21st Century.
Half the book is basic third person narration, but the rest is a mix of commercials, product reviews, legal papers, opinion pieces, TV transcripts, etc etc.

The lite version of this is used in plenty of games. Undertale and Pokémon Rocket Edition are two that come to mind.

I'm running an Elder Scrolls D&D game right now and am having tons of fun with "unreliable narrator". They hear everything from random people at bars, weirdos on the street, highway robber journals, etc.

The wormhole leads to Tamriel now? And it's all in a galaxy far, far away?
