adventure games
Puzzle-driven interactive fiction
Adventure games are video games emphasizing story, exploration, and puzzle-solving over action or reflexes.
The classic form involves navigating environments, collecting items, and using them to progress: I spent hours on that adventure game trying to figure out which inventory items to combine.
The genre includes text adventures, point-and-click adventures, and modern narrative-driven games.
