Another little game that does this very well is Knights of San Francisco:

Just the way they reveal the text phrase-by-phrase makes all the difference. I'm someone who wants to read all the text, but if they just dumped the whole paragraph in one go I wouldn't be able to stop myself skimming past it to the choices. And the restriction feels subtle enough to be unobtrusive.
I wonder if these text-based games work best on mobile (as long as it's choice-based and you don't have to type). 80 Days is a good example. I thought Disco Elysium was very well written but the walking around gets a bit tedious and the graphical part was maybe under utilised.
