Story

Stickman: Jailbreak Story doesn't just drop you in a cell and call it a game - there's an actual escape to plan, and every move you make pushes the story forward. That's the thing about this tag: it's not just gameplay for the sake of it, there's a thread running through each one that makes you want to see what happens next.

Each game bends that idea its own way. Boyfriend For Hire leans into character and choice, while Drunk But Not Wasted Knight turns a wobbly knight's night out into its own weird little narrative. Then Safari Story Mahjong takes the format sideways entirely, wrapping a safari setting around classic tile-matching so the story unfolds tile by tile instead of level by level.

If you liked the escape-plan tension of Stickman: Jailbreak Story, the wider Adventure games section has more of that same forward pull. Prefer your stories told through puzzles instead of platforming? Puzzle games is the better rabbit hole.
