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!

    Sounds like you might want something that falls between the Visual Novel and CRPG spectrum with a healthy dose of point and click adventure elements.

    There are few games that have quite the same style of narrative freedom that DE has, you can try Planescape as others have recced as well as Arcanum of Steam and Magick Obscura. On the VN side of things there's not a whole lot in terms of games with narrative freedom - they're all pretty linear barring the odd dialogue choice here or there. You might have better luck with a conventional point and click type game. Go on Grimbeards youtube channel and pick one you like the look of to be honest. A lot of them tend to be less linear than RPGs
