      Apparently “The Sims” is an example of a 4th person (not shooter) game.

      So just being a school principal in the US.

        ohhh because the player is behind the fourth wall, as opposed to following a character’s back that still allows for immersion

          Yeah basically. You aren’t directly controlling the characters - setting tasks and stuff, but they act semi-independently.
