You might want to check out the games from the IF Art show, which were explicitly puzzleless. Galatea and Exhibition are two I can certainly recommend, and I think The Fire Tower was also nice.

🌒 s/Interactive-Fiction

The Tedium of Gaming — My problem with most modern games is the extreme boredom that overcomes me when I watch someone playing. The age of increasingly realistic rendering has brought with it the real-life tedium of getting from place to place, combined with the chores that need to be performed (missions, etc)... Having made it my life's goal to _not_ have to do what some jackass tells me to do, why would I let a game boss me around? Interactive fiction games, especially adventure-like games...
