When I said adventure wouldn't work with simulation, I had completely forgot about Heavy Rain which does combine the two and is a very awesome game. You can do all the usual things of a eat, sleep, pee, but it is combined within the storyline, so while you are doing these small tasks of trying to calm your character down you are also aware of the suspense and urgency within the game to also complete the main task. But you can't do that without keeping your character calm. So the two go hand in hand.
