Recently discovered that itch.io has a section for solo RPGs: https://itch.io/physical-games/tag-solo-rpg

Thinking of trying one out when I have time on a day off. Problem is that I am pretty creatively bankrupt and terrible at writing so I'm skeptical of how much I would enjoy these.

Anyone has experience with this genre?

I've looked at a couple. I think you need a game system which catches your attention if your not particularly creative. They generally give you good prompts and have plenty of generators/ oracle's to guide you.

Check out Ironsworn. I believe it's free and it's generally very well regarded. I've not played it myself yet but I've read most of the book and it seems very well put together.
