Alternate name: Metagame

This is more for the cases where you temporarily enter a different kind of game mode to deal with specific problem and then return back to the "main" mode.

Limitations: (similar to varying game mode's limitations)
* Combat mode in old console RPGs (and those that mimic the style) should be ignored for this.
* This is NOT for minigames.
* QTE should be ignored for this.
* Turn-based combat / Real-time combat cases do NOT count (that is, change in time progression).
* Overworld should be ignored.
... generally instances that have more specific tag available should not be included.
