All the From Software RPGs since Demon's Souls work like that too. (Not the lack of menu, but the lack of an interactive save system because it's just constantly autosaving).

There was a brief period of time after I de-converted where I was glad there was a mainstream talk show host in America who is vocal about being nonreligious. But soon after that I learned he is a terrible representative of that identity, just as he is a terrible representative of any other identity he has.

In philosophy, what you're asking about is called the paradox of fiction.

e.g. means 'for example.' I think you were looking for i.e. (which means 'in other words' or 'to be specific').
