Interested in solo games?
One Page Left, by M. Kirin, is a solo horror roleplaying game inspired by slasher movies. You survive as long as you can fit words on a single sheet of paper; run out of space and you die!
Cryptid Creeks, by HatchlingDM, is inspired by Stranger Things and Gravity Falls; you are a group of kids trying to save their home from something terrible. It uses a generative mystery mechanic that is super light-prep for the GM and encourages collaborative storytelling.
Slay, by Trollish Delver Games, is a stat-less dungeon-crawler that cobbles characters together using descriptors, gear, and skills. High-danger, rules-lite.
Want something more light-hearted?
Havoc Brigade, by Grant Howitt, is a high-energy one-shot about orcs on a special undercover mission. The game is all about "stupid plans and wild distractions", according to the game designer.
Want space or sci-fi instead?
Monolith, by AdamHensley is a sci-fi hack of Cairn and Into the Odd, perfect for a galaxy full of aliens, adventure, and danger.
Want something more collaborative?
A Perfect Rock, by Deep Dark Games, is a world-building game where you explore planets using your own personal rock collection, inspired by Interstellar, Subnautica, and The Outer Wilds.
All of these games were found in the free section of Itch.io. If you want more, you can browse there.
