I want to try and play some more games. That feels more fulfilling if you play games that you can finish and be done with.

So what are some good games that have zero (or close to zero perhaps) replayability? I'll start with my own suggestions:

Return of the Obra Dinn: Amazing mystery/detective game. However once you've played it, you basically can't play it again as you remember the solution already and the challenge of the game is trivialized.
Chants of Sennaar: Really great game about deciphering languages. However, once again, by playing the game once, you'll remember the languages and the game has no challenge any more.
Outer Wilds: Mystery adventure game. There is some replayability as there are perhaps areas that you can still explore, but largely once you figure out the mystery and complete the game, there's not much more to experience. Some people speedrun the game though.

All of the above games I value extremely highly even though I only played them ~8-10 hours.

Do you have any others?

If you're ok with point and click/puzzlers, the rusty lake games are probably some of my favourite storylines. Extremely well written imo, creepy and with a few jump scares to keep you on your toes.

They're incredible.

I hooked my wife with Rusty Lake Hotel, which is probably the easiest entry point into the whole series.

Then we went into a few cube games, and then Rusty Lake Roots, which is so well made and where all the best lore is.

Did some more cube games, and right into Rusty Lake Paradise and Samara Room, and Underground Blossom.

I also didn't tell her The Past Within is also a Rusty Lake game, so when she saw the connections while we were playing, her excitement went through the roof.
