-->--'''User Manual, ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds'''''
This trope lies in between a single player and multiplayer game. Rather than allowing players to [[CompetitiveMultiplayer compete]] or [[CoOpMultiplayer cooperate]] directly, the game uses a system where another player's game data is used to influence the game. This can range from [[PlayerGeneratedEconomy trading items and equipment]] between players (or characters; this is a mainstay of {{mons}} series) to outright having a customisable PlayerCharacter cameoing as an {{NPC}}.
While this was possible on older games (the ability to share saves on a PC game has always been a given), online games (and improvements in technology which allow for easier localised data sharing) have made this much more popular. It's especially attractive to a developer who wants to add online features without ending up with a MisbegottenMultiplayerMode or needs a means of linking OneGameForThePriceOfTwo.
Games in the {{Roguelike}} genre often have a feature called "bones" files, which store the saves of dead characters so their grave (and/or [[EverythingTryingToKillYou angry ghost]]) can make an appearance. Another variation is an odd sort of DropInDropOutMultiplayer where only the host plays normally, and everyone else simply helps or hinders them indirectly (e.g. by being able to attack them or fight with them with the limitations of an {{NPC}}, or simply observing) while keeping their single player campaigns separate.
Compare PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo, MetaMultiplayer (where players are still able to compete in a single player game) and OldSaveBonus (when a player can import data from one game to another). Can be a SocializationBonus.

!!Examples:
[[AC: Action/Adventure]]
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds'' has a feature where the streetpass[[note]]A feature where if the player has their 3DS in sleep mode with the wireless switched on, it can automatically share data with other [=3DSs=] which come within range.[[/note]] loads other players' profiles. These players can be fought as Shadow Links for an amount of money based on their difficulty (players can customise their Link's equipment and make battles with their shadow as easy [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential or hard]] as they like).
* ''Videogame/GodEaterBurst'' features "Avatar Cards" which you can exchange with other players, allowing them to use your PlayerCharacter as a {{NPC}} teammate and vice versa. The character's [[EquipmentBasedProgression equipment]] is dependent on what the character had on his/her person when the card was given. The sequel improves on this by letting you edit the cards' equipment before giving them away.
* Subverted in ''VideoGame/{{Journey}}'': The glowing symbols that can be seen floating above the environments ''look'' like previous players' souls/symbols [[spoiler:returning to the beginning from the top of the mountain, as happens to your own at the end of the game]], especially since other players can actually accompany you if you play online, but careful observation reveals that those symbols are always the same and are essentially static features of the respective levels.
[[AC: Edutainment]]
* Some versions of ''VideoGame/TheOregonTrail'' (for example, the Windows 95 version) allow you to encounter the tombstones of player characters that didn't make it to Oregon.
[[AC: Roguelike]]
* ''VideoGame/NetHack'''s bones files allow you to loot the dead character in question's corpse. Just remember that the cause of their death still tends to be around.
* The roguelike ''{{VideoGame/Omega}}'' allowed high-scoring player characters to achieve certain positions, such as becoming head of the various guilds, or Duke of Rampart. The relevant nonplayer characters would then be renamed after the ranking players in successive games. On a single-player system this became somewhat confusing, since all the [=NPCs=] would end up with your own name.
[[AC: RPG]]
* The ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' series was built on the idea of players being able to trade their {{mons}} between each other. Each iteration of the game even comes in multiple versions, with exclusive Pokemon, to encourage trading.
* The online component of ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' (and to a lesser degree, its [[SpiritualSuccessor predecessor]] ''VideoGame/DemonsSouls'') allows players to leave each other notes and also leaves blood stains to show where other players have died. There is also a more direct co-op element, which allows players to join one another's games during boss fights or "invade" their game and kill them.
* ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}: [[UpdatedRerelease Golden]]'' added a feature (to take advantage of the PS Vita's wifi/3G capabilities) where the player could call for help while in dungeons and gets healed based on the number of players who respond. The game also lets players write a short message (from a few specific phrases, presumably so they could be easily translated and avoid {{griefing}}), which is stored in anyone they aid's log.
* In ''VideoGame/DragonsDogma'', your pawn (a fully customizable follower of your character) can be used by anyone in the pawn community. While with another player, your pawn will gain gifts from the other player, rift crystals, and quest experience from the quests they went on while away. You can also hire other's pawns and have them travel with you on your quests.
[[AC: Sandbox]]
* ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'' allows players to "hack" into other players' single-player campaigns to gain additional resources. In-game, the player being hacked experiences it as [[PlayerCharacter Pearce]] being tracked by hostile surveillance cameras.
[[AC: Simulation]]
* Every game in the ''VideoGame/{{Creatures}}'' series has allowed players to save and share Norns with one another.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Spore}}'', all of the creatures, spaceships and other content a given player generates can be uploaded to "Sporepedia" and downloaded into another player's game. The result being that Sporepedia has well over 100,000 times the amount of content the game had when it shipped.

-->--'''User Manual, ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds'''''
This trope lies in between a single player and multiplayer game. Rather than allowing players to [[CompetitiveMultiplayer compete]] or [[CoOpMultiplayer cooperate]] directly, the game uses a system where another player's game data is used to influence the game. This can range from [[PlayerGeneratedEconomy trading items and equipment]] between players (or characters; this is a mainstay of {{mons}} series) to outright having a customisable PlayerCharacter cameoing as an {{NPC}}.
While this was possible on older games (the ability to share saves on a PC game has always been a given), online games (and improvements in technology which allow for easier localised data sharing) have made this much more popular. It's especially attractive to a developer who wants to add online features without ending up with a MisbegottenMultiplayerMode or needs a means of linking OneGameForThePriceOfTwo.
