Oh kind of like the choose your own adventure games? I have a cool collection of those type of books from when I was in my teens, they're a lot of fun. There are some of those kinds of games on the mobile app store, which I've played through and really enjoyed.
That's the thing though, with good writing, you're more than happy to excuse bad graphics or clunky gameplay. That's why it's so easy to go back to a lot of the older games and still find some enjoyment in them.
Hahah I know the game you're talking about, I never actually played it, but have heard about it. He's a bit of a deviant.
