One last question: If it is valid to see puzzles and exploration as part of a story, then is it possible to tell a good story in an adventure game with nothing but puzzle-game puzzles and walking around? Which is to say, no characters except as elements in a puzzle or a scene, no dialogue, no cutscenes, no backstory, etc. Why shouldn't it be possible? (And by "a good story", I mean "a good story".)
