Stameplay
Refers to the ways a story is integrated with gameplay in a way where you can choose your level of Engagement with the story without sacrificing the overall experience; The story can be interacted with while not being forced onto the player, such as in a scripted cutscene.
"One of the standout features of Black Mesa is its exceptional use of stameplay, allowing players to engage with the rich narrative organically through exploration and interaction, rather than being confined to scripted cutscenes."
