We all have our own intense games that we love, like our action-packed shooters, tense mysteries, difficult platformers, and brutal roguelikes. But sometimes we just need a break. Calmer and more laid-back games can be a great way to unwind after a tough day. Lots of people have heard of more popular titles like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley, but there are a lot of hidden gems out there that aren\u2019t nearly as well-known. Below are five of my favorite lesser-known relaxing games, in no particular order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calico<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"A
Yes, this is what the title screen looks like. The cats fly all over the place. It\u2019s glorious.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Calico is a cute, cozy game about running a \u201ccat caf\u00e9\u201d and helping your neighbors with various tasks. Why the quotation marks? Well, while it may be a cat caf\u00e9 in theory, the magic on the little star-shaped island the game takes place on apparently makes all of the wild animals friendly and cuddly. This means that you can walk up to any animal on the island, pick it up or ride it, and put it in your caf\u00e9. Want a bird caf\u00e9? There\u2019s a crow, a raven, and a snowy owl that you can find and bring back with you. Big fan of capybaras? Great news, there\u2019s a ton of them at a spa on top of the mountain. Want a deer in your shop? A polar bear? You can have them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
A selection of the cute animals you can have in the caf\u00e9.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there are many lovely cats to play with as well, if you\u2019d rather keep it simple. My favorite kitty is definitely Pudgems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
The bestest boy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The game has a very chill, whimsical vibe, with many of the characters and quests being very silly and really leaning into it. You can hold animals and wiggle them around, store them on your head, and even make them big and ride them around, which is super cute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
Incredible gameplay.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Within the caf\u00e9, you can set up furniture and design your own wallpaper. The biggest part of your caf\u00e9 though (other than the tough decisions on which animals to keep there) is making the food. You pick a selection of foods and drinks to have out at one time, which characters from around the island will come over to buy. However, in order to prepare the items, you have to shrink down and run around on the counter, chucking ingredients into the bowl and playing little minigames in order to bake and frost your cookies or brew your coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of your time in the game will be spent running around helping out your neighbors with various tasks. As you progress with these tasks, you\u2019ll slowly unlock each segment of the star-shaped map, where you\u2019ll find more people to help out and more animals to kidnap. It\u2019s not a long game by any means, but I find myself coming back to it now and again to relax with its adorable animals, cute pastel graphics, slow, relaxing gameplay, and lovely, soothing music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farm Keeper<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The most obscure on the list by far, this little tile-based strategy\/farming game\u2014released very recently on June 17, 2023\u2014has only 180 total reviews on Steam. In this adorable game, you manage a farm made of small tiles. You start with only a few tiles around your house, but each day, you get to choose a free tile from a random selection of three, which you then can place adjacent to existing tiles on your farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most things in the game take energy: tilling land, planting, watering, and harvesting crops, breaking trees and rocks, and lots more. You only get 12 energy per day, and each action on each individual tile takes one energy. The best way to deal with the energy limitations is to build wells, which will fully refill your energy when clicked on once every three days. Farm Keeper has very short days, which you can end whenever you feel ready to progress (or have run out of things to do).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Every four days, you have to pay rent to your landlord. The rent increases as you progress, and the game is technically endless. Instead of a concrete ending, you either win by going long enough to unlock and build the owner\u2019s mansion, or lose by failing to make enough money for the next rent payment. Either way, the game will end, you\u2019ll unlock things based on your achievements (which I\u2019ll get into further down) and start a new game, back to your tiny farm once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of ways to make money: selling crops, selling animals which grow by eating adjacent crops, refining crops into things like beer, cider, and tea, and many others that you unlock as you go. You always start with a very small collection of items, and each time you pay rent more is unlocked within a singular game. In the game as a whole, there\u2019s a \u201csecret tile\u201d system, where you\u2019re able to unlock 42 total things: crops, buildings, animals, utility tiles, more types of workers that you can pay to help you with various tasks, and even the harder difficulty modes. This is a great way to keep you playing, as it gives you mini goals to strive for on individual playthroughs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
The secret tile menu in question.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As a whole, Farm Keeper is a very well-polished game. The sound effects are incredibly satisfying, the pixel graphics and their little animations are super cute, and the simple game loop is fun to come back to every once in a while when you\u2019re in the mood (though it can be pretty hard to stop playing!). The game is currently receiving frequent updates addressing player concerns, fixing glitches, and adding new content, so there\u2019s always more to come back to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wobbledogs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wobbledogs is a silly little game where you breed a collection of mutant pups, selecting for certain traits over generations to end up with some truly crazy results. As stated on the game\u2019s official page<\/a>, Wobbledogs is \u201cA 3D pet simulation sandbox where you raise your own personal hive of mutating dogs, physically simulated all the way down to their guts!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
Who’s a good boy?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Each dog has a set of gut bacteria, which are obtained from the different foods that you can feed them. The different bacteria have different effects on their genetics, which can cause mutations in the dog itself as it goes through different life stages\u2014which happens by entering a cocoon, obviously\u2014as well as giving its offspring more of a chance to get certain mutations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some examples of foods and their effects include pancakes, which can make your dogs flatter and have larger tails, lasagna, which can make them bigger, and ectoplasm (my favorite dog treat), which can cause white legs, a black body, and a higher chance of random mutations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a ton of different things that can be mutated on the dogs, including: colors and patterns; number, length, and width of legs; width, length, and height of body; eye type and number; ear type; tail type and number; wing type and number; horn type; and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big part of the game is the achievement system, which is how you unlock a lot of important things like new food types, extra rooms, toys, new decorations, wallpaper and flooring, and even a few special wobbledogs for certain achievements. This creates a strong gameplay loop as you care for your dogs, working toward certain goals, such as making a very wide dog or one with only three legs, and unlocking more items that let you work toward more achievements, all while forming attachments with your adorable mutant pups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
Death is not the end for your puppies\u2014they can come back from beyond the grave to hang out and jam with your living wobbledogs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Seal World<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The second most obscure on this list, Seal World is a goofy game where you play as a seal who wants to eat all of the \u201cfibsh,\u201d the main collectible of the game. It\u2019s still in early access and isn\u2019t very long, but at only $3, it\u2019s a steal for the amount of fun you get from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
FIBSH!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fibsh are scattered around the little towns, hidden on shelves, behind trees, in secret tunnels, underwater, and all sorts of other places. You can also obtain delicious fibsh for helping out your fellow seals in silly quests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As you collect fibsh, you\u2019ll also unlock the other main collectible in the game: silly hats for your seal. There\u2019s all sorts of hats you can get, but my favorite would have to be the one that\u2019s just another, smaller seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every seal you talk to has goofy dialogue, and your seal also has a lot to say in return, making it fun to blob your way around and talk to everyone. The game doesn\u2019t take itself seriously at all, and it\u2019s all the more charming and adorable for it. Seal World encourages casual exploration of its map, making it perfect for winding down and doing something simple and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Webbed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The final entry on this list is Webbed, an adorable 2D puzzle platformer where you play as a tiny spider trying to save her boyfriend who got kidnapped by a bird. You visit various groups of bugs around a giant central tree, getting their help to build parts of an airship to reach the cloudy area high up in the sky where the bird lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Webbed’s lovely map screen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Webbed has two main controls that will make up the majority of your gameplay. The first is shooting threads that you can swing from and pull yourself toward things with. The second is attaching threads between two locations or objects to connect objects together, make pathways to travel along, catch flies wandering by, and solve lots of other interesting puzzles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you may be wondering: what if you place some threads in the wrong place and need to remove them? Not to worry, our spider friend has the perfect solution: laser eyes! A normal part of any spider, our little friend can shoot lasers to destroy webs that are no longer needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The movement in Webbed is incredibly satisfying\u2014by shooting webs and pulling yourself along, you can really build up a lot of momentum, sometimes flinging yourself pretty far. Webbed is one of those games that\u2019s fun to just move around in, even without any of the other aspects of its gameplay, like the engaging puzzles and cute story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And there you have it: five of my personal recommendations for games to play when the stress is starting to get to you and you need to unwind. Each of these games is charming in its own unique way, and with a variety of genres, there\u2019s something here for everyone. So grab your favorite beverage, cuddle up under a blanket, and relax with one of these cute games!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
