What kinds of games might you recommend with deep worldbuilding and interaction that aren’t RPGs?

I like worldbuilding and stories, and I like when they’re mixed with the interactivity of games, so RPGs seem like they should be a natural fit. Problem is, I dislike the stat-heavy, grindy progression of many RPGs.

I enjoy point & click adventures and visual novels but they’re often more limited in their interactions. What kinds of game might I be missing combining the two?

    You’ve basically just described any of the Telltale games.

    Visual novels with action usually limited to QTEs.

    Unfortunately company is no more, so what they have out is all there is.

      They were resurrected. They’re making a Wolf Among Us 2.
