A virtual tour of a museum where you move the point of view around in 3D space like an FPS probably isn't a game

There's a whole genre of game called "walking simulator " where this is exactly the gameplay maybe interacting with a button or something

i'm aware, you can simplify even more though and have all the points of interest available from the beginning and no tracking of what you looked at and then it's much more clear that the thing i'm talking about isn't a game at all and isn't presented as a game.

a slideshow isn't a motion picture, but nobody is weird about it. nobody would try to claim 50 still images you click through is a movie and nobody would smear a presentation by saying it isn't one.
