Everybody's Gone to the Rapture

Basically games heavily based around walking around or exploring an environment. They're typically very heavily story-focused games, with little in the way of traditional mechanics (although some recent games, like Naughty Dog's, have embraced aspects of the formula). Mostly associated with games such as this, Gone Home, The Stanley Parable etc... Often used a sneering phrase, but handy enough (albeit reductive) phrase to describe an increasingly broad range of games with a broadly similar approach to storytelling.

Heavy Rain exists on its own plane: a plane of awfulness and unintentional belly laughs.
