Sort of. I played Proteus a little bit and it was definitely along the right lines, though I wouldn't say the genre as a whole is exactly what I mean. Many walking simulators like Dear Esther and Gone Home are pretty linear, where "exploration" mostly means unpacking a specific story in the exact order the developers planned. Some others, like Eidolon, still can't resist putting little collectibles in there.
