What do you guys prefer - story or mechanics? (Patreon)

I've been thinking about this for a while. My more popular animations like the Samus interactive or the Makoto animation had really simple mechanics, while my more thought out animations like the 2B interactive got little attention in comparison.

One thing I've been doing a lot as of late is playing through older animations and seeing that there was a change some time in June/July where I shifted away from the "simpler" animations and made an attempt to mush story and game together in something that ends up either bloated and kind of a chore to get through or something that's not very satisfying and perhaps a little too short.

So - what do you guys think?
