it's part of the game yes, and part of these special games are called puzzle as is it called mistery games. if you'd reed the official manual of these games you'd seen all are applyable.
pure Point and click is freddy fish, you click on a spot and there's a melody or something happening.
puzzle means there's more then just click response, there's need for a working thinking brain too.
mystery meanse there's a story to go through in these games.
so calling it plain point and click is not gonno be enough...
