Miegakure is a 4D game, so you could similarly leave a three-dimensional house. Like, a 2D creature put inside a square would not be able to move outside without crossing the walls, but it could leave it by moving in the third dimension. Miegakure is a fully four-dimensional game. Till then there there will probably always be a disconnect between popular and technical usage of the term. Perhaps, if successful enough, mathematicians will give up, and collectively rename what they currently call "non-euclidean" geometry to something more sane, like "four postulate" geometry. If you're making a game, you care about communicating ideas to your audience, and "non-euclidean geometry" is a term that will evoke the idea that OP is trying to communicate.

However, game audiences tend not to be exclusively, or even mostly, made up of pedantic mathematicians. But I suppose in the realm of mathematics, that is the correct definition. Personally I think that's incredibly confusing and a terrible way to define a term. Non-Euclidean Geometry is not not Euclidean Mathematicians seem to agree that only geometry that obeys the first four of euclid's postulates but denies the fifth postulate fall under the term "non-euclidean". Upon further inspection of some literatures, it seems you have a point. Manifolds are orthogonal to hyperbolic or elliptic geometry, and the basic examples are quite trivial compared to them, as shown by their existence in games at least since 1979 (Asteroids, Pacman). Other spaces which are not exactly Euclidean spaces have other names, for example piecewise Euclidean spaces are called (flat) manifolds. This term was coined by Gauss who used it for what we call hyperbolic geometry nowadays (and nothing else), nowadays according to most sources it means hyperbolic or elliptic geometry.

There is no reason why it should be so (what is a "geometry" anyway, is any space a geometry?), given that Gödel has proven both "completeness theorem" and "incompleteness theorem" (and "completeness" and "incompleteness" are not exactly the opposites of each other), or that a free Abelian group is not a free group. You seem to assume that "Non-Euclidean geometry" should mean "any weird space different from Euclidean". My preference is to respect the original community rather than people who used the term incorrectly and thus created all the confusion. Other such words include "hacker" (originally - a computer genius, in popular usage - a computer criminal no wonder that the original hacker community is annoyed), and "roguelike" (originally a game similar to Rogue, and nowadays people will call mostly every indie game a roguelike). It is yet another case of some community coining some term, then someone outside of the community using that term in a not completely correct way, and the incorrect use becoming popular and overshadowing the original one.
