The Assassin’s Creed Odyssey game, set in classical Greece, has a feature like this. It works really well as a teaching tool, and the immersion is excellent. Even today, the overall quality of the graphics and the game still holds up.

The “education mode” is officially called Discovery Tour: Ancient Greece. It removes all combat, enemies, and time pressure from the game and turns it into a large, interactive, open-air virtual museum.

My kids have actually used this (without any prompting from me) in middle school history classes.

There’s also a Story Mode, which lets players build their own narratives and share them. It can be quite a lot of fun.

There are discovery tours for the other modern AC games too included if you own the base game.

I don’t understand why folks mention AC games first when this kind of thing is brought up, KCD is not perfect but much better for historical accuracy.

To be clear, they're taking about an "edutainment mode" feature, and not the standard game with its narrative about templar-aliens.

I wish there was a "camping mode" for Breath of the Wild. Would be fun just to fish and hunt and camp.
