Heyo everyone!
I recently convinced my dad to get homself a Steam Deck and now my mom, who until now has not shown any interest in gaming, has asked me if I could recommend her some games the she could enjoy on my dad's steam deck. I have tried finding some recommendations using Google, but since she is not very familiar with gaming, most recommendations were sure to overwhelm her...
So I thought to seek the help of the hive mind now.
Previously enjoyed games: None that I remember
Preferred Genres: puzzle games, riddle games, (murder) mystery or thriller games such as graphic novels or interactive storytelling games.
Budget: not an issue
Other notes: She likes reading thrillers and murder mysteries, particularly Scandinavian ones, board games and card games, both cooperative and competitive.
Thank you for any recommendations! I have already recommended the "The Room" series to her.
