Tie-in variants
Culture concept
Parent groups
This is a container group; its children are:
| Adaptation | Adapts a story from different entertainment format while attempting to retain it without significant alteration. | 0 game | |
| Tie-in continuity | Conceived as a piece of the same continuity as the tie-in material, either as a sequel, prequel or a different viewpoint of the same events. | 2004 / 2010 | 6 games |
| Reimagining | Conceives the old in a new way, maintaining the basic storyline, timeline, characters and so forth but retelling the story in a different way and possibly with significant alterations to the setting itself. In essence an unfaithful adaptation. | 1992 / 2020 | 29 games |
| Shared setting | Shares the setting/universe of the tie-in material, but besides that has little to do with it. (too short) | 1992 / 2021 | 94 games |
