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?

    Disco Elysium is more of a novel than visual novel. It is a ton of reading.

      Perhaps audiobook is a better description? Ever since the Final Cut came out almost every line in the game is voice acted.
