Adventure
An adventure game is one of the main genres of computer games, representing an interactive story with a main character controlled by the player; the most important elements of the game are the narrative and exploration of the world, while solving puzzles and tasks that require mental effort from the player play a key role in the gameplay. Combat, economic planning, and tasks that require quick reactions and rapid responses from the player are minimized or completely absent in quests.
