Why these games appear

How entries qualify

Adventure play primarily organized around story discovery, dialogue, relationships, and consequential choices rather than mechanical execution.

Include when

Assign Narrative Adventure when adventure play primarily organized around story discovery, dialogue, relationships, and consequential choices rather than mechanical execution. This must be a sustained, defining part of play rather than an isolated mode or sequence.

Leave out when

Do not assign Narrative Adventure from theme, presentation, camera, or a minor mechanic alone; its defining interaction and progression pattern must recur through the core game.
