Narrative games. Recommendations wanted.

Hello all! I'm 45, and I recently discovered that, in my old age, I love story-rich narrative games. I just finished my first one, The Invincible, which was an amazing game once it gets going. Now I'm playing Arctic Awakening, which so far is also amazing and gets going right out the gate. For context, I love that these games are basically interactive movies—crucially I enjoy that these games are first‑person, with no puzzles, something to interact with every so often, and plenty of excellent voice acting (my ADHD/Autism doesn't abide reading). I'm eyeing the Fears to Fathom series for my next outing, and I also think Road 96 looks pretty cool. I would welcome peoples thoughts on these last two games. What is your top recommendation for a first‑person story-rich narrative game? I might be persuaded to play other non-first-person narrative games if they are good. Just keep the reading thing in mind. Thanks!

Edit: I want non-combat games.

EDIT: Thank you for all the recommendations my steam wishlist is now long af! I tried to reply to everyone, and I didn't expect so many replies. You guys are awesome!
