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 hate the micro-transactions thing too!

The Return of the Obra Dinn is meant to be excellent (horror/mystery with old school pixellated design) but I couldn't play it because it's on a ship and gently rocks from side to side. It's a PC game.

Monument Valley is very pretty, gently weird SF and a single payment, for phone. No rape, no gore.

The Room and sequels are definitely horror, mostly but not entirely of the creepy atmospheric type, but sometimes I found them difficult because the screen was quite dark. Great puzzles, though. No rape or sexualised horror, hinted gore but almost nothing on-screen. For phone.

Ads in "free" games are another annoyance. I've been playing Best Fiends a lot, and it's hard to accumulate enough stuff to power up without watching a bunch of ads, and some of the ads are very very not good.

Thanks for the recs!
