Railroading is a too broad, and But Thou Must! refers to dialog choices, which this doesn't.

Is there a trope for when the player character and/or their party simply refuse to allow the player to go to a particular location?
For instance, if the player tries to enter a door they aren't suppose to yet, the character will say something like "we need to do x" or "we don't have time for this!"
