I’ve had a terrible day and I want to relax and unwind with a game that is wholesome, not stressful, is fun and engaging and is happy. I need me some gaming comfort food. I have my eye on A Short Hike or Alba as possibilities. I’ve also heard Firewatch is good.

What cozy games do you like to chill with? If I’m not looking for story I also like Powerwash simulator, which I play when watching mindless TV.

    It’s still relevant as my stressful situation has no end in sight. I started to play Death Stranding but was tired so ended up watching a film. I will make a point of trying it out in the next few days. Completing something can feel good yes. I play a rhythm game called Arcaea on the iPad and getting a perfect score in a song is one of the few things I get any enjoyment out of at the moment.

      Another option is horde shooters. I dove hard into Vampire Survivors when I was dealing with some issues at work - short play sessions, real feeling of progression and unlocks. Levels can be a little stressful, but the cost of dying is so small. See also, Brotato, 20 Minutes til Dawn. All great games.

        I own vampire survivors and Brotato but I haven’t tried 20 Minutes Till Dawn. I definitely have played a fair bit of Vampire Survivors lately. I absolutely love the treasure chest animation. I have the startup for vampire survivors amongst the ones I bought with the points on the steam store.
