Basically what the title says,I have recently got a new pc that can run games.So far I have played a  few UT fangames and visual novels,and I want to expand my horizons. So feel to suggest any free games that are compatible with windows!Also you can suggest more visual novels and other UT fangames(same with fnaf ,danganronpa,and bendy)  since like I said I have played few games so far.Not mention,they dont have to be on itch,they can also be on gamejolt or stream

I think you'd like Posey Picks. It's really cute and a bit silly. It also has several endings!

If you prefer a specific genre or topic, select a tag or genre to that. Some tags are genres.

I am not aware that any games are specifically friendly to people new to gaming. There might be some technicalities, like indie developers not heeding to any standards of quality of life and introduction of controls.

It is like food. What is beginner's food? Hmm. Ok. There is milk and porridge. So what is the porridge of gaming?

If you're really new to gaming but want to expand your horizons, you should play more varied games.

Here are some simple games which aren't visual novel nor UT fangame:

Witchcraft Tower Defense

Marble Merger

Coin Champion

This one is not simple but should be good enough for you:

A Palace for Fools

There are more genres but I couldn't think of decent example ATM.

Hi! The Forest of Endings is a short, free puzzle game made by me! It has 15 endings to collects by exploring a forest and talking to NPCs. It’s pretty simple and easy, plus it has a hints page.

I recommend it! I also have some other simpler games. Check them out here: Link

Crystal Monsters and the Purple Power is a side scroller that's an action packed fantasy game that is honestly a little slept on. It's also free!

Here's some screenshots

Off-Road Rush is a high-speed dirt bike racing game that you can play with up to 7 other friends through online multiplayer races!

The controls are straightforward with WASD  and space being the only keys needed and you can play the game on your own or with friends.

Choose between 5 different characters and 10+ unique tracks to race your friends or try to improve your time!

Off-Road Rush is free and you can play it right in your browser!

It would be awesome if you played my game:
