1 player games?

[kindkit]

Anyone want to rec me some games? They need to be playable by one person, using a phone or a PC without a controller. I'd prefer science fiction, fantasy, or horror* with a strong story component and not much need for hand-eye coordination or the ability to push a zillion keys in an exact sequence in half a second. And I'd rather pay for the game up front than have to make in-game purchases in order to play successfully.

(*For horror games, please not too gory* and not rape-y at all.)

(ETA: On reflection, "gory" was probably the wrong word. I'm fine with moderate violence [think action movies] and blood, so long as violence isn't the main point of the game. What I'd like to avoid is graphic [think horror movies] violence, and disgusting stuff like zombies.)

Thanks!!

I haven't played much of it, but Darkest Dungeon is an unforgiving roguelike that is about eldritch horrors and the problems that come with being too close to them.

There's also Slay the Spire, which is a deck building Roguelike. Neither require twitch skills, but they both will do a lot of frustrating and aggravating while you learn how much the RNG is weighted against you.

Thanks! I'm not coping brilliantly with frustration and aggravation at the moment, even in a game context, but I'll keep them in mind for when things are better.
