Video game concept

There's no main menu, no press button to start, nothing. Only that the game has already started.

Some of these may be confusing in case they show the title right at the start (which often disappears as soon as you start moving), causing a "why isn't the menu appearing?" reaction.

These usually load last game save too when the game is started on later plays unless the game uses a hub level of sorts.
