nonmultiplayer
Nonmultiplayer refers to games or applications designed for a single player experience. This contrasts with multiplayer, which involves interaction between multiple human players. Nonmultiplayer games typically focus on a solo narrative, challenging gameplay mechanics, or puzzle-solving elements that are best experienced individually. The core appeal often lies in exploration, skill development, and immersion in a story or world without the need for social interaction within the game itself. While the term primarily applies to video games, it can also extend to other interactive media where a single user is the primary participant. Many nonmultiplayer games offer extensive content and replayability, catering to players who prefer a personal and focused gaming session. The design of nonmultiplayer experiences often emphasizes artificial intelligence opponents or environmental challenges to provide difficulty and engagement.
