If it’s at an Internet cafe where everyone is in attendance, I seriously strongly suggest “The Ship”. In my experience, probably the ultimate LAN game. Screen peeking allowed but not encouraged.

The game is effectively a game of assassin—but you have to upkeep your player’s needs (food/water/shower/bathroom/sleep). Your character needing to take a shit is stressful—very often you begin the process only to have your murderer pop open the door with a fire axe.

It used to have a “viral” gift copy thing on Steam where 1 purchased copy generated 2 gift copies and those copies generated 1 copy each. So in theory, you could only require 3 copies for 15 of you if that’s still active.

mundane,

This looks fun. Yes, it is an internet cafe and they have access to a huge game catalog. I’ll see if this is in the list of games they have.

INHALE_VEGETABLES,

I wouldn’t play with most of me.

A Hat in Time is a somewhat easy platformer IMO. It’s super cute and a low-stress game.

If the only reason that you’re avoiding action games is that she may not be good at the controls, you can consider action games that have good low difficulty modes. Deep Rock Galactic has good lower difficulty modes in my opinion, and it is fun to play with others.

IIRC Dusk has a really slow paced low difficulty mode as well. Projectile based attacks move super slow. I’m not sure what she’ll be into as far as genre goes, but action games may be approachable if you pick the right ones.

A bunch of friends and I have been playing Sniper Elite 5. It’s a mixed bag of varied experience. Some are terrible but just enjoy the shit talking (I’m one of those) and others just kick the crap out of the rest of us. But it’s a fun bonding experience too since you can have up to 4 teams against each other and just need to make sure there’s a fairly even balance.

I think you can do private games of Stumble Guys with that many people.

Minecraft

mundane, (edited )

Minecraft is not something I enjoy so I won’t be suggesting that. But if others want to, it might be a good choice

teawrecks,

This will be the real challenge. No matter what game is picked, with 15 people someone will feel meh about it. So plan on having a few options, and everyone should agree to at least give them a shot even if it’s not their first pick.

Factorio works, but it would probably help to give a guided to tour the store and genres, to figure out what she would like.

If she has really no exposure at all, playing just factorio is limiting yourself to eating one flavor of ice cream.

Deep Rock Galactic. Lots of fun, easy to adjust difficulty, plays on lower-end machines. 1-4 person teams (the levels scale with team size).

I also hear 100% Orange Juice is really fun with friends and approachable for non-gamers, but I’ve only played single player, and the computer players cheat. I can’t say for certain if this is a good choice or not.

mundane,

Deep rock galactic looks like a lot of fun but I’m hesitant about the small team sizes. With 4 player teams we would have to have 4 parallel games going at the same time.

With a set of mods natively supported by the game through mod.io, you can get as many as 8 people in a spacerig (lobby) without the game crashing, and in theory up to 16 if they join after the drop pod has landed. I’d recommend the following set of mods if you go that route:

Downside of this method is you have to log into mod.io through your Steam account, and I’d personally be too paranoid to do that at an internet cafe, but it would get y’all down to 1-2 parallel games. In addition, if you turn up swarm sizes, the game basically becomes Starship Troopers: Space Dwarf Edition.

Towerfall Ascension. Local play up to 4 players (6 on switch). You can run a mini tournament with 15 people. Amazing game.

No experience with games? Has she watched you play games, did she have favourites from those? Are there certain IPs she likes that would help?

My sister is now a casual gamer. The games that got her into it are Kingdom Hearts just via Disney branding and Uncharted (which she liked watching people play due to the Nathan Drake) which slid her to her favourite series Tomb Raider.

I recommend going that route instead of trying to find some weird fit since if she likes Harry Potter for example one of the best solutions regardless of the time you put in will be Hogwarts Legacy.

Take a look at Apico pixel game all about beekeeping (is more akin to Stardew in how much the is to do however). Fantastic game

Ok so the answer is Stardew Valley. There are some other decent answers in here but trust me on this, it’s Stardew Valley for her first one.

steeznson,

My partner used to be a teacher. There was a period of like a year when she would get home from work looking insanely stressed. Then she’d boot up Stardew Valley on her laptop from the couch and I could see her mood change immediately. She’d play for hours too.

At one point it was like Stardew Valley was her real life while the actual outside world was some horrible nightmare she had to wake up from.

Mass Effect

rambaroo,

How does mass effect have even remotely similar mechanics to bg3? The dialogue is it

Take a look at “Lovers in a dangerous spacetime”. It’s a cute, fun coop game with fairly simple controls. And I’m pretty sure it was developed with non-gamer partners in mind.
