For those of you who like old-school text-based solo roleplaying, try out GREYMARSH on Steam.

The game is heavily inspired by the gamebooks that were so popular in the eighties. One of the most appealing features of this form of solo adventuring was the small scope: rarely did these books consist of more than 500 situations in which to choose from a small number of actions so as to further the story. The battle system and inventory management were rudimentary and designed to be mastered immediately. That way, the action could start right away.
The meticulous tinkering with inventory items and stats optimization so popular in games these days... there was rarely much of that.
And even though the interactivity was low with today's standards, the reader/player still had the illusion of agency, of having the power to affect the miniature world conjured up within the gamebook's pages.
GREYMARSH strives to recreate that feeling.
