The problem was that the GM railroaded you guys through a pre-scripted (mediocre) novel after asking you to play a role-playing game.You can hide the rules without railroading the players through a pre-scripted novel.  For instance, if you were playing over e-mail, and the GM had asked you what you were doing and then resolved it using either the WOD rules or the GURPS rules, without your knowledge of which, that would be playing a rules-hidden game -- and it would be nothing like what you described.</blockquote>
