Such games may lack any objective, and are sometimes referred to as non-games or software toys.

Sandbox games are often associated with an open world concept which gives the players freedom of movement and progression in the game's world.

A doppelgänger (), a compound noun formed by combining the two nouns (double) and (walker or goer) (), doppelgaenger or doppelganger is a biologically unrelated look-alike, or a double, of a living person. In fiction and mythology, a doppelgänger is often portrayed as a ghostly or paranormal phenomenon and usually seen as a harbinger of bad luck.
