I was wondering, is there a story that is a must read for you?
If you click on the "story games" tab and look at the categories, the box under each one displays "featured games." These games are a good place to start in whatever category you like best.
Under the "Help & Info" tab, there is an article called "A List of Storygames For People Who Like to Read" by Mizal near the bottom. There, you'll find some storygames that are pretty good but often overlooked.
