Would love recs for video games. My criteria are: 1) I like a good narrative, 2) I suck at speed reactions/hand-eye coordination challenges, 3) I like puzzle-solving, and 4) I'd prefer something that's not a giant undertaking lasting dozens of hours. Chants of Sennaar is a good example size-wise, though more robust narrative would be ideal.

@swan_tower We tend towards those giant undertakings personally, and can recommend tons of those, but some of the shorter ones we've really enjoyed include wild arms and wild arms 3 (both about 30-hour games), tales of eternia (about 30-40 hours), and the ace attorney series (about 20-30 hours each, but they're visual novels so it's really easy to pick up where you left off)

@swan_tower (had recommended megaman battle network but then re-read that you like good narrative and removed that--they're good games, but the narrative is very... shōnen-style silly, is probably the best word for it?)

@swan_tower (also sorry if these are still too long! we tend towards 60-70+ hour games so these are short for us, but they are still a couple dozen hours)

@Hearth Nah, it's all good! I just need things that aren't Baldur's Gate 3 where I will lose 100+ hours to it . . .
