I cannot recommend "Roadwarden" on Steam highly enough. It might actually be my favorite RPG ever. And it's an RPG in the classic sense: It's about allowing you to play a role and simulating the effects of your agency in a brilliantly-written world.
I know it's close to ending (the game runs on a time limit from the start) and I'm already mentally preparing for a second trip into the peninsula immediately after my first.
It does involve a lot of reading, but the writing is excellent, striking the perfect balance between setting the tone without getting flowery or overly-verbose.
If you want to escape into a fully-realized corner of a new world this weekend, check it out:
