Long story short I started watching the Handmaid’s Tale, just finished episode 3 and it’s terribly depressing and too real for me. I’ll keep watching but I need to counter all this negativity.

Hence why I’m looking for some “aftercare” games that will help me cope. Something easy, where I don’t have to think and just follow along good vibes.

I have played the following games, which kind of fit what I’m looking for:

  • a short hike
  • carto
  • frog detective (all 3)
  • islanders
  • helltaker
  • spec ops the line (just kidding)
  • mini metro / motorways
  • dave the diver

Thank you !

    Oh, and Harold Halibut. It’s stop-motion and heavy on character interaction, with a story that keeps the action mild (on a level with a kid’s TV show). A very calm protagonist. Aside from the visual style, all those things are reasons that it got mixed reviews, but could fit what you want.

    I had trouble with very long loading times on the deck sometimes, but it’s a slow-paced game, so I didn’t even mind too much.
