What I am searching for is for games that support touch screens and can be played with 1 finger / one hand. No action games with fake joysticks on the screen, just games that work with a single finger or at least one hand while lying in bed and trying to wind down. One very good example is Civilization V, which has a dedicated touch screen mode and is a turn based game. Also the windows included card games work good.
I tried to search for games on Steam, but unfortunately there is rarely a tag for touch screen support. Even Civ V with its dedicated touch screen mode has no tags telling about it in the Steam store, so it is hard to find games that work well.
I thought the “The Room” series could work well, because they are awesome on IOS devices, but the Windows version on a touch screen is cumbersome to use. So you can not even look out for mobile games that also exist for Windows.
If someone has some recommendations, I would appreciate that very much :-)
Edit: Changed Civ IV to V!
Dorfromantik
Not OP, but I’ve never heard of this and it seems right up my alley. Thanks for the recommendation!
I just played “behind the frame”
It’s a short story that’s perfect to be played on a windows tablet! Even better if the tablet supports the pen
It’s free this month if you have an active Amazon prime subscription
I liked it, it’s casual and it can be finished in a single session (1 hour, puzzles are very easy)
Oh wow! That looks like a pretty unique experience. I have a pen, indeed! Thank you very much :-)
I’ll need to double check them on my touchscreen laptop this evening, but 95% sure that both Dorfromantik and Townscaper work well with the touchscreen, and they’re also some of the calmest games in existence. I’ll also check Stardew Valley, which I haven’t played on my laptop, but the Android version is compatible with touchscreen so the Windows version may be too.
I didn’t see anyone mention Slay the Spire.
I thought about it when compiling my reply, but I can’t recommend it under “calm” requirement. The number of times I yelled at the game for giving me Time Eater when I’m playing a Shiv deck…
