Quasi-lore

Quasi-lore is defined as a story that does not fully, or entirely explain its history, but instead motivates the audience to draw their own conclusions, and expand upon the story itself. You could think of it as looking at the ruins of a society. Some of the remains may be destroyed or alien, because of the incomplete information. Therefore, this motivates you to look deeper, drawing conclusion to things that may, or may not have a connection.

Quasi means almost or resembling. So, quasi-lore is hints and clues. This term was originally coined by Minecraft Abnormals from the video, “Minecraft Quasi-Lore and How to Build on it”.
