1. Role-playing

   Role-playing refers to the changing of one's behaviour to assume a role, either unconsciously to fill a social role, or consciously to act out an adopted role. While the Oxford English Dictionary offers a definition of role-playing as "the changing of one's behaviour to fulfill a social role", in the field of psychology, the term is used more loosely in four senses: ⁕To refer to the playing of roles generally such as in a theatre, or educational setting; ⁕To refer to taking a role of an existing character or person and acting it out with a partner taking someone else's role, often involving different genres of practice; ⁕To refer to a wide range of games including role-playing video game, play-by-mail games and more; ⁕To refer specifically to role-playing games.

It's really like role playing, it's like acting.
