Hey everyone! Despite my efforts, my fiancé really doesn’t get into video games much. Mechanical skill limitations frustrate her, and sometimes her attention span for games isn’t high when she could read a book or watch a show, I want to try a new tactic to see if it works: games where she can be a “backseat driver.”

I’m mainly thinking of story focused games that aren’t reliant on mechanical skill and where having a second person watching can meaningfully contribute.

Some games I’ve thought of are the Phoenix Wright games, and Return of the Obra Dinn. Does anyone else have suggestions for games I could try to play with her?

Steamdeck verified games preferred, so I can play while docked to our TV.

Oh, I think I have the perfect series of games to you because they also work as movies, sort of.

Check out the dark pictures anthology, until dawn and the quarry, all developed by supermassive games.

Here's a trailer: https://youtu.be/3NcF7EOnjow

If you want something that's less horror based, check out oxenfree.

Yes so much. I played these with my partner. This is exactly what OP is looking for.

Detroit: Become Human was my favorite of this sort of game. Not in the horror genera though. My wife loved watching me play it and giving suggestions.
