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?

The Myst series has some pretty deep world building, especially in the later games.
The STALKER series.
That’s all I can think of off the top of my head. You’re severely limiting yourself if RPGs are a no-go for you.
Myst also has a pretty good series of novels that add a lot to the story.
