Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? (lemmy.zip)

I know I remember seeing some people talk about how nice some of the environments in Hitman were, and that they'd just walk around as a tourist from time to time, treating it like a walking simulator/virtual tourism thing instead of the stealth assassination game it is. Curious about other things like that, where you play a game totally differently than it was meant to be played.

The Ship. It's normally supposed to be a social deduction game, but some friends and I all get together in a private server and basically just play deathmatch. It's hilarious because most of fhe weapons are really hard to kill with and you still have to be sneaky because if you get caught, you go to jail (which is also full of shanks). It always leads to some great chaos, especially with more people.

Whenever I played The Ship back in the day or always seemed it was mostly murder and no deduction other than "did my target change outfits"?

Good game though. Very fun.
