== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[À rebours]]'' is one of the more plotless novels of the late 19th century; duels, love affairs, court cases over wills and characters who turn out to be each other's long lost relatives are pretty much absent.
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
Line 41:
* [[Platform Game]]: ''Rayman Origins'' is probably one of the best recent examples. Other than a brief mention that the world is in danger, you joyfully go jumping around musical instruments buried on a desert, glaciers floating in strawberry juice and a giant mexican kitchen.
* [[Simulation Game]]: Most simulation games often emulate real-world places. However, there are exceptions:
** Many "resource simulation" games, like ''[[Sim CitySimCity]]'' or ''[[Rollercoaster Tycoon]]'', will begin with a blank slate.
** For ''[[Crush Crumble and Chomp|Crush, Crumble, and Chomp!]]'', the whole point of the game is for the player to smash everything in sight. The closest thing to a plot are the cities, which only have a passing resemblance to their [[Real Life]] counterparts.
** The [[Wide Open Sandbox]] of the ''[[X (video game)|X]]'' series easily outshines the games' plots as the main attraction. The developers even included a gamestart where the plots are ''disabled'' (though the Custom Start is intended more for [[Game Mod|testing mods]] than actual play).
