I'll double check on my Steam Deck, but from what you described, many old point-and-click game would also work, since a mouse input without right clicking should translate well one finger touch input. This might make SCUMMVM and all the compatible classic adventure games potential successes. More modern adventure games might also work well.
Like I said, I'll have to test, but tentatively I'll suggest:
The problem with point and click on a touch screen is that you can not point ( i.e. mouse hover). Finding interactible elements can be very tricky.
Thanks for the suggestion. "Unfortunately" I grew up with those and know probably each one of them inside out, as they have been replayed multiple times over the decades. But I did not think about SCUMMVM and reading this I get the urge to Talk to Mr. Tentacle Guy again :-)
There are some remakes of adventure game classics out there, Day of the Tentacle specifically comes to mind. Not sure if it's "one-finger friendly" though.
Got distracted playing Beyond A Steel Sky, and it seems designed more for controllers, with one stick for looking, b add the other for moving. Granted I didn't force it to use mouse inputs only.
