I started out in text based MUDS. I would find a terminal to log in where ever I could, it felt like going home. Some point and click adventures felt that way. Skyrim, and WOW for a while.
What’s your favorite alternative dimension?

Hades - it never gets old. Its easy enough to know I’ll complete a run 95% of the time, but challenging and interesting enough every time.
Brotato - this has completely replaced vampire survivors for me and is a great no brained game.
Terraria or valhelm
Sekiro Defeating all the bosses in one playthrough is therapeutic
Ballad of Gay Tony
It’s usually a playthrough of a Pokemon game.
Realm of the Mad God.
You can play solo, with friends, and with strangers.
You can sit at the Nexus (safe zone/central hub) all day, and talk, or trade.
You can play as casual as you’d like, or as hardcore as you’d like by entering a “realm” (world dungeon).
You can run around all day in this realm fighting random things in the overworld from weak pirate goons and little bugs, to the “Godlands” fighting the overworld Gods, and entering their more difficult “sub dungeon”.
Topping it off, it is impossible to grief, and most players are super friendly and willing to help you fight dungeons or provide starting gear for free.
It is a fun little game to pass time with.
Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle, or any of the Monkey Island games. LucasArts games are like one big collection of running gags and inside jokes. The cross-platform ScummVM also makes it easy to play them on pretty much any device.
I know it’s getting a lot of criticism and I get why people don’t like it but for me right now it’s Starfield. I’ve spent more time just dicking around flying to planets and trying to build a great ship than actually focusing on completing the story.
The first Terromorph encounter with the distance tracker pinging constantly is fucking terrifying too.
Grounded is such a fun escape.
Bloons TD6
Snowrunner or Farming Simulator 22.
Disgaea 1.
AC Odyssey. Just looking at the sea or sailing into it. Ramming speed just to feel the wind. Wandering into a temple and taking pictures, or taking pictures of the people going about their everyday lives.
Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas and Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West. I just love being able to wander around and explore and relax while you toke.
Based on what you like, I’d say old-school runescape is right up your alley.
Careful though, there’s no escape from that escape…
