I have a really tough time trying to find games to play when my fatigue is bad. I do have some very laid back games, but those don't always sate the restlessness I end up feeling.

Here is a list of things preventing me from playing certain games when too fatigued:

- Dizziness/vertigo: I always have this. It becomes harder to manage when I am fatigued.
- Photosensitive head pain: harder to manage as well and always present. Flashy effects hurt.
- Brain fog: games with good stories are not his in these moments since focusing on story becomes very mentally teasing.

I've been playing Palia which is great but it's very laid back and doesn't suit those moments when I want a bit more activity from a game.

I wondered if anyone here had suggestions. Sadly first person games are tough when fatigued as are games with heavy story since it's hard to focus. My reflexes are much slower than usual as well.

I would greatly appreciate suggestions.

@ashi How about old school roguelikes? ADOM (maybe in ASCII mode), Brogue, Caves of Qud. The old school ones use minimal graphics, are more systems than story (OK - ADOM and Qud aren't good examples there, but NetHack, Angband etc), and importantly are turn based so you can take as long as you need. Brogue has quite simplified controls for a deep RL too
@lachlan I can't get the feeling of immersion I want from those types of games. Roguelikes are hard for me to get into as well.
@ashi I love them... but I can completely understand that too. They are very systemsy - a friend described my playing Brogue years back as like playing fancy solitaire, which I kinda get.
@ashi (I mean, I'm the same dork who publicly bemoans that there's been no good Railroad Tycoon 3 successor, and likes 18XX board games, so my tastes might lean a little niche)
@lachlan There are some great niche games out there and it's a shame they don't get more attention.
