Continuing the discussion from Games similar to Wayhaven Chronicles?:
There’s nothing exactly like the Wayhaven Chronicles I don’t think, but some stuff comes close to being like it. Someone already mentioned the Soul Stone War, which I similar.
The Samurai of Hyuga series is far more story than gameplay focused, however there are parts of it where your MC is going to act out of character because that’s the story the author wants to tell (there’s also quite a bit of triggering content, such as rape and child abuse, so just be wary of that if that’s something you’re looking to avoid).
Highlands, Deep Waters also is more story than gameplay focused, but paying attention to all the little things the story tells you will be important, since it’s kind of a Lovecraftian horror/mystery story and it doesn’t have any ROs.
Creatures Such As We is probably closest to what you’re looking for. It doesn’t have any stat checks (as far as I remember), has a bunch of ROs, and is entirely story focused. The only downside is that the interactions with the ROs are somewhat limited, but it’s entirely possible that I just don’t remember them that well since I haven’t played it in a very long time.
