Two Player TTRPG Looking For Ideas

[Late Bloomer]

Looking for some ideas for a two player TTRPG. I have modified D&D and Gurps over the years to suit one dm, one player sessions. I would like to try something new. Any ideas? I am pretty much open to any setting. Nice size monster variety is always nice. It can be simple or complex. I am very open to hearing ideas that you may have had running with just one dm and one player.

Check out Ironsworn. its made to play solo but it can be run like a normal game too. i GMed for my younger brother and had a blast with it.

AD&D 1E DMG had rules for solo play that you can adapt for what you want.

D&D 4 with a lot of skill challenges and an emphasis on combat will work, just randomize monster turns

Strongly second this. It's very fast-paced without sacrificing the tactical part of an OSR game.

Call of Cthulhu and it's variants have plenty of 1on1 adventures and plenty of normal ones are simple enough they can be done with only one player (as long as the GM tones down the combat encounters, if there are any).

You could try Vaesen. The rules are pretty light and it's more about horror investigation than fighting.

Run a combat campaign and have your player make a party of four to six characters.

That's my players are doing. I had them all make 6 characters to fill out a party. It does work really well to handle large encounters.
