Basically story-oriented role playing games, instead of dress-your-virtual-doll-and-find-the-jumbo-potatoes "RPGs".
Like for fuck sakes, I have way more fun reading a totally rail-roaded choose-your-adventure book game than with GOTY shits.
Or please point me at your favorite choose-your-adventure mobile-books, I love them. Or good AI-DMs, I tried one once and didn't really like it.
No, I can't join an IRL TTRPG group cuz where I live :cri: and I don't like to talk to my computer either.
Edit: Dang, thank you all!
Planescape: Torment is getting kinda old but it's clear it was a big inspiration for DE, so it might be worth trying that if you haven't before.
If you're okay with something a bit more casual, I like a lot of the stuff inkle puts out. I would personally recommend Heaven's Vault, about a space archeologist peicing together an ancient language and other mysteries.
"Hmm, interesting"
Dang it
Nah for real, do you reccomend the Inkle "Sorcery!" saga too?
Sorcery Saga is fun and also pretty short if I remember right
and they splitted it in four parts?
What a bunch of scabby sea basses, arr
I liked Sorcery, but always thought it was a bit expensive being split up over 4 parts. It's cool though, a thoughtfully digitized choose your own adventure book, so it's probably something you'd be interested in.
Ahoy
🏴☠️ :rat-salute-2:
The sorcery! Series is great
all those baldur's gate things really although torment is probably the most like of those
Play the Baldur's Gate series on an easier difficulty if you're not too familiar with ADnD/ don't want to read up too much on it. They're fun, but I can see that being off-putting for some people.
Neverwinter Nights 2 and its expansions and Pathfinder: Kingmaker are also pretty cool when it comes to having more choices to make.
Edit: And Tyranny for one of the newer wave of CRPGs.
right, those games have a bunch of combat that may or may not add to your experience. I'd even recommend just cheating at Torment, that game kinda only has combat for marketing reasons.
Beat me to it with Heavens Vault.
