These games are calming and great to relax to. Unlike the usual games, they feel more focused towards the simplicity of life, which in my opinion, is always overlooked. If any doubtful reader stumbles upon this, I highly recommend it for it's adorable characters and unique gameplay ideas. (If you're looking for a game that had a quick log in + short play, I recommend it even more!)

Gorgeous game, lots of story, very little to manage. My main problem with it is that because it's all offline it saves whenever it likes. Which isn't as often as necessary. I have had loads of times where I've reopened the game to be in the same place I was before. I recommend doing what you need to then leave the game open for a while.

This game is amazing! I downloaded the game after playing hungry heart diner. And as expected, I was not disappointed by anything. It had what I wanted, especially the relaxing music. I like how it changed with the seasons, really added a soothing nostalgic feeling to it. Also you can hear noises from the background, like kids playing and laughing (very nice detail) which really felt like you're there, it reminds me of my hometown. Definitely worth a try!!
