I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game (lemmy.world)

So, I've spent over 2 hours on Steam searching for a nice game to play. But it's all junk, as far as I'm fed with Steam recommendations. I liked ksp~~2~~ 1, cities skylines 1, age of empires 2, baldurs gate 3 a lot, I just finished Divinity original sin 2. I like rpgs and management / factory games like workers and resources, satisfactory etc. I'm having a lot of fun with split fiction when I play with a friend, but I need a proper singplayer game. Anything I could get which isn't a total ripoff due to lack of gameplay or it being a bug simulator or dlc purchase mania?

EDIT: I'm a bit overwhelmed by all reactions. Thank you all so much! I have a lot of amazing recommendations to check out!

I would like to recommend Dave the Diver, Inscryption and Curious Expedition (first one). All of them are superb indie games. It might not be the genres you're asking for but I would still highly recommend them if you want to try something new.

I loved Dave the diver. Holy shit what an amazing game! I will check out the other titles, Thank you!

If you like Inscryption, check out other games by the same dev. They don't have replayability, but they are unique experiences IMO.

I will scream from the mountaintops that The Hex is his best game. I loved Inscryption so much and thought there was no idea I’d like any of his older games better. Inscryption has better replayability for sure, but I think overall The Hex is a better game. I love it sooooo much and people just get turned off by the graphics, because they don’t understand that there’s a reason they look like that in the previews.. and why they can’t show other things.

Anyone reading this, please go play The Hex.

Seems like we have similar taste in games—I loved Dave the diver and can second Inscryption!
