Story-rich games are widely loved for their memorable moments, compelling stories, and immersive settings. These narrative experiences can be found across a range of game genres, with visual novels and episodic adventures being popular choices.
While it's unusual for story-driven games to debut without conclusive endings, some have managed to do so successfully. For instance, Supergiant's Hades started as an Early Access title, and Telltale's The Wolf Among Us only reached its conclusion with the final episode release.
