What is the name of that genre?

Hey guys!

I just have a quick question :

What are games called, where you are able to go to different places? For example if I remember correctly, in Dreams of Desire, you had a map and were able to visit " Mom's Room " , " Sister's Room " , " Neighbor's House " etc.
Basically, is there a special name for those kind of games with specially that feature?


Thank you in advance!

The problem is, most ren'py games which I find pretty " attractive ", do not have that feature and are like kinda straight forward. And I am looking for games, which give me the opportunity to decide, which place I want to visit next, by choosing it on a map.

Well, it should be "free roaming" or "open world", although it's not exactly that (like in some AAA games).
