That observation actually made me go through my library looking for more examples and, yeah, it's surprisingly few. There's 'The Entropy Centre', which also falls into the "You're a test subject" category. Other than that there's the Zachtronics games, where the reason for puzzle-solving is because it's your work.
In Zachtronics Infinifactory, the setting is that aliens have kidnapped you and force you to build things for them, in return for kibble and other things humans like, such as a little league third place trophy. Always enjoyed that.
Quantum Conundrum too ! it's excellent, but a bit difficult. I never finished it 🤫
