Recently discovered that itch.io has a section for solo RPGs: https://itch.io/physical-games/tag-solo-rpg
Thinking of trying one out when I have time on a day off. Problem is that I am pretty creatively bankrupt and terrible at writing so I’m skeptical of how much I would enjoy these.
Anyone has experience with this genre?
What defines a solo RPG? Being an RPG where you only have 1 character? Dark Souls would fit into that. So would The Witcher and Cyberpunk. Hell, Baldur’s Gate 3 could fit into that, since you could play it with just 1 party member (it’d be hard as shit, but still possible; you can solo the originals, too, and those were balanced for 6 party members).
Practically all but JRPGs could be played as solo rpgs.
These are table top games. Not video games. Something like DnD but for a sole player.
Can’t blame him, this is the videogame community after all
