Mysarium: Cozy Lo-fi Terrarium

Moss: The Forgotten Relic

Moss: The Forgotten Relic is an atmospheric adventure game set within the pages of a living storybook. You’ll help Quill, a small but determined mouse, on her journey through untamed nature. With her, you’ll overcome puzzles, find secrets, and come face to face with arcane forces. While there is combat in this game, it has an accessibility option to “skip combat” so that you don’t have to deal with that if you’d rather just enjoy the adventure. This game merges Moss and Moss: Book II into one complete collection and includes the Twilight Garden DLC so that you can enjoy the full experience all in one place. With over 160 awards and nominations, you can’t really go wrong with picking this one up.

Neko Michi

Neko Michi is a management game where you build up and restore a street of buildings in Meiji-era Japan. Place down shops and other buildings to serve the cat population, and add your own personalization by changing their colors and shapes. It’ll be up to you to balance costs, prices, and customers’ needs to create a thriving ecosystem. To me, this game seems heavily inspired by Minami Lane, so I have high expectations that Neko Michi will rise up to the satisfaction I felt playing Minami Lane.
