Best Immersive Sim indie games in 2026?

Almost finished with Cyberpunk 2077 and it’s got me craving a good Immersive Sim. I’m looking at the indie market because it seems super promising for this genre.

Currently considering:
- Fortunes Run
- Gloomwood
- Peripetea
- Shadows of Doubt

Bonus if it runs well on Steam Deck OLED

This is my first time with Starfield, but I am a huge Bethesda veteran. I have an idea of exactly what I want based on my past experiences. I've scoured the Creations page and this subreddit for advice. I've compiled everything I want to download into a list. I'm looking for some help with my list before I boot up my game. If some of these mods aren't compatible or simply aren't working anymore, please let me know. Or if you have suggestions for other mods to try instead of these ones?
