Do: Pilgrims of the Flying Temple is a storytelling game to the most literal extent. There's no rolling to attack goblins or orcs, no skills or statistics, just a brief characterization and a bag of rocks. And it's awesome.
Take lots of good art and a basic story premise, that the characters are all pilgrims trying to find their place in the universe, and you have a good looking and entertaining read, but the gameplay is also fun (maybe more for its target audience than for adults). It's dynamic storytelling in a simple moderated manner, which produces a fun lighthearted story with only the loosest of rules.
It's meant more for children than adults, but Do is one of the highest quality products I've seen in a long time.
