I always wondered, are these "games" like the RPG-like gamebooks of old, where you had lots of choices, jumping to different pages and even had combat, where you had to role dice? Like "La Saga du prêtre Jean"/"Die Saga des Bruder John" from French writer Doug Headline or Das Schwarze Auge / The Dark Eye solo adventures.
yes and no; these games are choice driven, and depending on the genre, there may be combat, but outcomes are usually based upon stats determined by choices, rather than dice rolls. on the their forum though, there's at least one game in development that's using dice rolls iirc.
