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 say visual novel, I say “slay the princess”. It is real good.

    Ultrakill is avery different game but it is not a rpg snd the lore gets real biblicsl later on

    The world of Northern Journey looks really rich to me, it is bot a rpg. The only caveat is that it şs a gsme that I am planning to play not one that I hsve played so can’t comment on how good it is
