Characters that are described and interact with the character primarily or only via audio (most often through dialogue, but usually also using some audio effects). As opposed to cutscenes which often emulate film, the way aural characters are presented in games often more closely parallels radio dramas and other audio-exclusive media.

Story-driven games where the protagonist is diegetically you, the real-world player, manipulating faraway real-world events through the not-actually-a-video game you're playing. Employed in Assassin's Creed: Unity, Dance Central 3, Save The Date!, and several CD-I games.
Who needs 2D when we've got 3D? 3D, or 3 dimensions, is what we're used to seeing in almost every game these days, letting us do all sorts of awesome stuff like run in circles!
An eye tracking peripheral.
