Hey there! I have an idea for an RPG that would only be played with one player and a GM. I know you can play any game like this, but my setting would be specifically designed to be played that way. Are there any examples of other games like this out there?
-
Call of Cthulhu
-
Scarlet Heroes
-
Also, I think Ancient Odysseys: Treasure Awaits! would fit the bill.
-
Expeditious Retreat Press has a line of 1 on 1 Adventures. (OSRIC / 1e AD&D)
-
Any of them but games with niche protection will require npcs or magic items to take up the slack.
-
IronSworn was designed for Solo, Co-Op and GM'd so works well with just a GM and a player.
It's completely free as well:

You should seriously try the board game BARBARIAN PRINCE - for that TRUE OSR experience:

It is seriously difficult, but for it's time it was fantastic!
