Overall, 1-5 would be the range I’d consider. I believe they’ll shine with 2-3 gm-less. With 4-5, they might benefit from one of those players acting as a facilitator.

Thousand Year Old Vampire is an award winning solo journaling game designed by Tim Hutchings. In this horror game, you create your own vampire and explore themes of memory loss and the passage of time. The game has a unique storytelling system that is based on prompts. Every prompt modifies one of five traits (Memories, Skills, Resources, Characters, and Marks). This makes for an enjoyable and replayable experience. The game is 188 pages and has an evocative layout and design. I highly recommend this game!
A Modern Prometheus is a tabletop roleplaying game that uses the firebrands system. The game is for two players and is divided into turns. Each character has their own minigames to choose from.
The pdf has a great layout and is about 40 pages. The game is set in a gothic horror genre and uses coins, dice and tokens as the game's components. There are optional rules for more players. I definitely recommend checking it out!
Eventually, I plan to do a recorded play through of this game. But for now, I took a VERY short look at the game for a Youtube Short.

We've come to the last episode of my solo play through of The Outcast. What a ride! In case you missed it, you can see the episodes leading up to this on this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxegXw4U07cmRAJY0A3Rq4AvFs5dBlbkM
But without further a-due, here is the finale episode:
What a great system Cezar has designed in The Outcast. You should definitely pick up a copy if you haven't already.It’s funny, I had thought of doing a Push game as well. But I just don’t have the time to pull it off right now.
one way I think it could work well is if you WEREN’T characters in the primary ensemble of Pooh’s friends, and instead were just other creatures of the hundred acre wood. That way, you could run into the cast as NPCs with Matrix entries that reference them in some way.
I’m having a blast playing as Captain Colada (so named after the drink I was enjoying when I began playing). Here’s my “play-by-thread” tweet storm actual play: https://twitter.com/instadeathpod/status/1521202168321265664?s=21&t=vHnCxzLlRO1LhLLSqNN7CQ
A beautiful implementation of Wretched & Alone. This game tackles privilege, ambition, and imposter syndrome against the backdrop of 1920s New York City.
The layout, typography, and iconography is beautiful. The writing is clear, and the prompts evoke thematic tale from the player.
The "Quick Start" section on the back page makes this a good choice for a first W&A game if the theme appeals to you.
