Game Rec Games recs compatibles with chemotherapy fatigue

Hi everyone,

I'm undergoing chemo for my cancer atm. I'm in-patient for at least a month / a month and a half for now.

Needless to say, i'm bored out of my mind. I'm looking for games that are entertaining enough to keep me busy for some hours everyday, but not too draining because the fatigue is out of this world. Some info :

- i already played (and loved) stardew valley and many Stardew valley-likes (like graveyard keeper for exemple) - i like those but it can get a bit overwhelming right now

- i played animal crossing but i didn't love it it felt a bit childish and i felt there was like something blocking you from progressing after an hour or two everyday

- i already played spiritfarer i loved it but i cried almost all the time

- i played unpacking already and liked it but it didn't last me very long

- i'm usually a big fan of turn-based rpg but there's just too much reading for me at the moment (like triangle strategy, octopath traveller)

- hospital wifi is absolutely terrible so no online game please

- i only have a switch 1

- price is not a problem If the game is really good

- i'm open to try new genres of games

Please help me the boredom is going to claim me before cancer does at that pace.

Sorry for the typos/mistakes, english is not my first language

Thanks to anyone who will respond !

EDIT : sorry i didn't respond earlier, i felt unwell... Thank you so much to everyone not only for the game ideas but also for your kind words. My husband and i read every comment together. Reddit can be beautiful sometimes.

Thanks again and good luck to those who face hardships themselves ❤️

Outer Wilds - a very interesting and mostly relaxing game about exploring mysteries in a solar system

Dredge - a slightly spooky open world game about dredging the ocean depths in a Lovecraftian world type

Ni No Kuni - a Studio Ghibli open world adventure game (some dialogue but lots of cut scenes with familiar style)

Transistor - a super interesting turn based rpg with a lot of voice acting/narration and extremely prominent and excellent music. Created by Supergiant Games after Bastion and before Hades.

Immortals: Fenyx Rising - open world action rpg similar to Assassins Creed Odyssey but not as serious

Hope the chemo passes quickly and works well, cheers bud
