Majority of my game apps on my phone are either text based adventure games and find an object games.
I highly recommend the text based adventure games though, more specifically from Choice of Games (CoG) and Hosted Games (HG). Both uses CScript on creating their text based adventure games but those under the CoG titles are hired by CoG themselves and received advances but must follow CoG guidelines while HG are for those independent writers less guidelines needed. Majority of the titles here are quite inclusive in terms of characters genders and preferences, your choices depends on the author's style and capabilities. There are some stories that are quite linear but the cast of characters and made up for it but some authors are quite good in making your choices matter. You have to keep in mind that majority of these authors are individuals and work separately from each other. Of course, this are entirely text based so no visuals. Another thing that is they are one time payment too and no premium payment like Choices. Also they are all available on Steam, their website, iOS and Playstore.
Here are some of my favorites with their demo if you're interested and I have copied the summary found in their title cover for your easy browsing:

As for my favorite Hosted Games:
1. Wayhaven Chronicles series by Mishka Jenkins - "Your first case as a detective is forcing you to open your eyes to a world bigger than you thought." More character driven and emphasizes on relationships. Seven parts and Book 2 was the latest release. The author is currently working on Book 3.
Demo - Book 1:

2. Samurai of Hyuga series by Devon Connell - "Prepare to enter the land of silk and steel, a harsh world with tough choices at every turn. Good thing you’re the toughest ronin around!"
Disclaimer: Book 3 and onwards get into darker territory. It's Shonen feel during Book 1 to 2 and then turn into Seinen during Book 3 onwards. I only recommend this for anime lovers and like gritty stuff like GoT level gritty or Basilisk level and it has trigger warning on each book so read them carefully. I really love the realistic aspects of the story and characters all around the Ronin (the MC) even though it's linear. A six title series. Book 4 is the latest one and Book 5 is currently worked on by the author.

3. Evertree In series by Thom Baylay - "Check-in to this magical tale of murder and mystery! Can you uncover the secrets of Evertree Inn and become the hero, or will it all end in blood?" Fantasy and Mystery? Sign me right up! The author haven't disclosed how many they write yet but so far Book Two (Sordwin) was the latest release and Book three (Lux) is currently on beta.

4. Fallen Heroes series by Malin Rydén - "They called you a hero; you call them fools. Use your telepathy to romance old friends and fight new enemies as you become the greatest villain ever known!" A four part series. The author is currently working on the second one.

I don't like stat heavy titles but there are ones like that for those who like min-maximizing like The Lost Heir(HG) and Choice of Rebels (CoG).
