Open Sourcery is a very good Twine game with significant player agency.
> BEL/S is an Elemental Firewall: a fire elemental bound with C++ code to protect a network of people and places. She can learn things, develop relationships, and even gain sapience. Or she can burn everything with fire. It's up to you.
The essential gameplay centers around a loop where you choose places to scan. You have a variety of choices to make for each threat, from annihilating them to passing off the issue to your creators to making friends with the viruses that attack the systems you were tasked with defending. (You do make choices by clicking)
The choices you make affect your options in the final fight, which even triggers actions based on a real-time countdown clock and not just clicks (by default, you can toggle in settings).
It gave me a hilarious and enjoyable few hours of gameplay. You can play the initial bit online, and the preview is representative of the whole game's appeal.

Note: BEL/S does not appear in-game or out-of-game to be open source, in case that's going to piss someone off. I still found the pun cute.
