Are there any narrative games out there with a difficulty scale that correlates not to something like combat or action, but to the level of drama and social conflict you have to navigate? Where casual means everyone's easy-breezy and on deathmarch you're walking on eggshells?

Pathologic and Pathologic 2 both do this! You can become hated in different areas of the town depending on how you treat others - socially as well as like, medically.

Although there is plenty of action involved as well, so maybe not quite what you were after?
