So amongst other things I'm on a high dose of valium right now, and things are difficult. Gosh darn it even dressing is an effort (who has two thumbs, didn't get out of bed/her nightie this morning? And maybe will live in bed forever now? This girl).

My girlfriends I live with are all mile-a-minute getting ready to fly out for a work trip and I feel like a magikarp to their Sonic the Hedgehog.

My question is, what do I buy for my Steam Deck to keep me sane that requires the dexterity of a potato. Or at least, that I can take a loooong time to figure out. No pressure.

Just finished Final Fantasy VII Remake before all of this, and I'd love something far less intense and concentrate-y (even though God damn was that game pretty and incredible and yes I downloaded FFXV because I love the modern FF world now)

(Srsly, FF7 Remake was sublime)

I suck at games like minecraft and surviving crafting things.

Subnautica looks like a dream but...crafting and survival. I hate that genre. Love oceans and tropical. Hate crafting.

Someome help? Plz? <3 (And thanks, sorry for rambling here x)

I find Townscaper really relaxing, there's no objective, just a toy to make cute looking towns. Haven't tested it on steam deck tho.

If you like building/puzzles there's Shapez (this one I tried on steam deck and it might take some time to get used to the controls), it's like factorio but abstract and without resource management, you just make machines that modify and combine shapes to create new ones, it get's progressively complicated, if it's your thing you'll find it quite addicting so be mindfull of that.

For sims there's Two Point Hospital, (Two Point Campus came out recently but I haven't tried it), Planet Coaster and Cities Skylines (if you're into the hard stuff)

Here are some more narrative driven games that I like:

Life Is Strange: Graphic adventure with a cool twist and a compelling story
Child of Light: Chill RPG in the style of a children's story
Blacksad: Cool detective graphic adventure
Both FAR games Lone Sails and Changing Tides: Puzzle platformer with a story told just with the environment, I recommend playing both one after the other in order
SteamWorld Heist: Tactical RPG in a side 2D perspective with ricochet. I haven't played much of this one but it's very cool
Gris: an interesting platformer with really nice looking animation
A Short Hike: A cute adventure game about exploration
Oxenfree: An interesting graphic adventure with a cool story
Night In The Woods: Platformer adventure with an interesting story and great characters

I love Townscaper! I find it relaxing and satisfying! Once you've made a town you can even export the 3D model to use in any 3D program. I don't have a 3D printer but I thought it'd be cool to use it to build a town and print it!

Also, you can share towns with just a code... This is a little one I've worked on for a bit here and there, you can just copy this code and then click "Load from Clipboard" in Townscaper:
