Props
Diegetic elements of game worlds that have no gameplay related to them.
Games with Game Worlds rarely can let players interact in all conceivably possible ways with all objects they logically should contain, both for production reasons and for wanting to focus the gameplay towards certain activities. To still let the objects be present, this can be solved by having Props, objects that either cannot be interacted with or only has non-vital information connected to them.
