Simple game for wifey

Hi everyone! I bet this question comes up from time to time but I thought I would ask anyway.

I’m a gamer since I was 8 years old and I play mostly single-player games on the PS5 nowadays. My wife, however, was never into games. She had some passing interest in a few titles like The Last of Us when she saw me playing, though. I tried buying a few simple ones to play with her, like Crash Team Racing,
and Overcooked. No lasting interest.

To my surprise, she recently saw some gameplay on social media of this Steam game called “Librarian” and it was cheap so I bought it for her to play on my Steam Deck. She got so addicted to it. You guys have no idea. She got 40 hours of gameplay in like two weeks. Not even I play that much these days 😂

This got my hopes up again for finding other titles that she might like. I already got another one called “Shelves & Sorcery” that’s exactly the same as the “Librarian” one I mentioned.

Anyway, I thought you guys might have some ideas or maybe you want to share similar cases here.

TL;DR: Does someone have any suggestions of games for a beginner without a lot of subsystems, with a similar level of complexity as “Librarian” (from Steam) but maybe just a small step up?

I appreciate any input and wish everyone an awesome rest of your week!

EDIT:
Wow! You folks gave so many perfect suggestions. She will have an infinite backlog at this point 😂
And that’s the dream. I’ll start replying but you all have my sincerest thanks!
