A game where you eventually receive a map of an area. Like in Metroid Prime you have map download stations to get a map outline of the area. This is the same concept in the exploring Castlevania games.
Puzzles may need to be solved before the player can progress to the next section of the game. Often it may not be clear to players exactly what the puzzle is, or whether the an in-game items needs to be attained before it is even possible to solve it.
Puzzle games that also feature some kind of narrative.

It may be resetting a room, a puzzle, or an encounter, and it can be explained in game terms (a "reset spell" for instance), but it does not involve dying and/or "reloading a save".
These games are designed to be played by one person, and one person only.
An eight legged arachnid. Some make webs to catch prey and some are poisonous. None have made a web grand enough to be called a parlor, though.
