@lain @WandererUber Since you just admitted that you do have the patience for point-and-click, a really obscure but pretty-good-for-a-videogame-story-one is https://store.steampowered.com/app/1360390/Cats_and_the_Other_Lives/

It tries to be (and succeeds to a surprising degree) a Robert Altman style ensemble drama, but the player character is the house cat, so you experience the story entirely by just being in the room with the human cast by accident, just doing cat things.
