'''Off-game ''' is a state for elements that are outside of the game. It is contrasted with [[in-game]], which instead encompasses all the elements that are in the game. It is similar to [[non-diegetic]].
Objects are considered off-game if they do not fit within the established fiction of the game, such as modern camping gear in a medieval fantasy setting. During play most players actively avoid and ignore elements that are off-game, as they disrupt the individual establishment of fiction. [[360º]] illusion can be seen as an attempt to abolish all off-game elements from play.
