I am off work at the moment recuperating, so I’ve finally started to look at the stockpile of iOS games I have. But if I’m honest most games really don’t do it for me - I’ve never liked IDLE or rogue-like games, and I found most RPGs very boring because they seem to consist of grinding over and over again. There aren’t many binaural games I’ve got on with - I think Blind Drive is the only one I’ve got to grips with - all the I’ve tried a number of other ones but I’m too inept.
So what I’m looking for are some recommendation for some good games with stories that aren’t going to keep showing me a game over screen or force me to read a thousand pages of tutorials before I start, or have any gameplay mechanics designed just to waste my life away.
Some games I have quite enjoyed:
Call of Fate
Voices of the Ancients
Evidence 111
Frequency Missing
Alt Frequencies
Len-guard
Timecrest
Can anyone recommend anything similar? I did try Brock but got a little stuck and gave up.
Sorry I know we have loads of similar posts for people asking for this sort of thing but most people are looking for something different. (IE most people aren't as lazy as me when it comes to this sort of thing and are more prepared to put effort into games).
(I would also accept Mac game recommendations)
I wonder if at some point it would be good to add some kind of categorisation system to the Applevis app directory, so I could just see a list of story games, or idle games or whatever I was interested in.

Some recommendations
Hi,
Here's a couple of offerings for you.
A Detectives Demise:
https://applevis.com/apps/ios/games/detectives-demise
Eldrum Untold:

I know you said RPG's bore you, but I think you might dig the Eldrum series. Enjoy. 😎🎮
Choice of Games
I don't play them as often as I used to, but I would highly recommend the apps Choice of Games, Heart's Choice and hosted games. Interactive fiction is a lot of fun, and there are tons of stories you can choose, most of which are quite budget friendly.
