Hi people, I currently have two friends who injured their dominant arm in unrelated accidents and mostly can't do anything but sit around and watch movies.

I'd like to gift them some games to play with just one hand. Not the hentai variant, but something to keep them occupied with.

Both own a steam deck. One is more into cozy games like Dorfromantik and the other into RPGs like BG3.

One Finger Death Punch would be a good example as you can remap controls so you only need to press left and right on the D-Pad, but both of them don't really like that game.

Do you know any games which can be played with one hand, preferably a controller or Steam deck? Using a mouse with your non dominant hand is annoying...

I don't understand. You have two friends, each with a good arm, that's two good arms. Tape your friends together and have them coordinate and BAM: two-handed gaming.

And they can play Brothers A Tale Of Two Sons.

sadly they live 80km apart from each other, and both are right handed, so they couldn't face each other while playing. We'd need a pretty weird dual-monitor setup if we'd tape them together.

All I'm hearing is excuses over excuses!

They could easily solve the double right handed problem by sewing one to the other upside down.

Tape will come off when they sweat, better sew them together. And trim off those unnecessary arms, it's just efficiency.

My SO and I died this during a stream once. I don't know why lol.

We played Hades. I was right, she was left. It started as a joke but we actually made it decently far lol.

That sounds like a good plot for an episode in a tv show. I sense potential here. Haha
