It doesn’t have to have structural elements, but it does need a constraints system.

You: I kill all of them and become an immortal god.

Game: No, that doesn’t make sense. You can’t just kill everyone; you can run over and attack them, and see how that goes for you if you like...

Without constraints it’s not a game, it’s just telling yourself a story.

...nothing wrong with that, it’s fun. ...but it’s not a game imo, any more than giving someone a blank piece of paper and a pen is a game.
