There has been an exclusive Doctor-Who-only level pack tho. Only set in the DWU. If that had been released by any other name (here I am bringing up Rachael Smith again) then you'd easily call it "a stand-alone video game."

It's a huge level with many Doctor Who locations and characters within the narrative levels. There's plenty of references to DWU ideas in there, and the Doctor even notices when things don't add up, in a way that they only would in the DWU. Like he lands outside the big TARDIS from the timeline where the Eleventh Doctor died (You know, in the future of Trenzalore or however it's spelled), and he says "I shouldn't be able to be here." Because the building should only exist in the timeline where 11 dies and 12 isn't born.

That's an attempt to reference an episode of the show while also making sure the character and the audience knows the specific details on the canon around that story.

Granted, it's not explained how he's there. But he still acknowledges the plot point, which you wouldn't do if it wasn't set in the regular non-reboot DWU.
