Playable Lore?

I've had this idea for a while. I think it's interesting to develop very short games (each game has about 4 quests and the whole gameplay is going to be less than 15 minutes) to introduce each original character (excluding the protagonist and his gf). I think a playable lore is much more intriguing than a written one. So the player enters the character's life to see how it really feels to be that person. It's going to be very short and it follows only one big event in the character's past. There are going to be 9 games and they don't include spoiler so the player can play them both before and after the main game. Anyway if you're a game developer, You know that it takes a lot of time. I'm not sure if the idea is worth the time…What do you think? Would you play them?
