In a game, sometimes items, actions, or mechanics etc. will have flavor text, which are just extra snippets of text that aren't related to actual gameplay rules or affect anything-- they're just there for effect. It's
pretty much just fluff, but it can add realism, enhance the tone, include extra background
information or
narrative, or be funny.
*While going through dialogue in a game*
Person A: Wait, I think I skipped
something. Was it
important?
Person B: Nah, it's just flavor text.
