Mostly here to kill time. Big fan of open source game engine recreations/source ports, firmware modding, Linux, and gaming in general.

Maybe it’s because I associate roleplaying with the idea of player choice but I really don’t think it added a ton to the RPG aspect. World depth? Sure but not by much.
I feel like you could say that about most games though. I wouldn’t say Cities Skylines is an RPG but you are fulfilling the role of a mayor. Chirper adds to the immersion aspect but I don’t think that’s enough to shift the genre.
Maybe it’s a hot take though. Kind of similarly I wouldn’t call F.E.A.R. a horror game. I’d say it’s an FPS with horror elements.
