Quiet as a Stone
The game is well done and though super simple and even limited in the actual gameplay (can’t save maps you’ve developed, no!real goal other than just clearing the landscape searching for magical stones). But despite the games limitations, it’s easy gameplay and simplicity are actually addicting. Tried it for the first time today and when I’d stopped it was 3 hours later! LOL Only three downfalls I see are that you can’t save maps, can’t create a map from scratch, and there needs to be a gamma control as the game is predominently dark and its difficult to see the landscape clearly. Hopefully the developer will add some updates. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing experience that only costs pennies.

Love the concept and the calm vibes, its very beautiful and relaxing! I do wish there were more variation in landscapes though, I imagine it gets same’y quite fast. Different climates and plants would have been fun! It is also much too dark, with no way to adjust the lighting up (as far as I can tell). Sometimes I cant see whats going on at all, its literally just pitch black, lol.
There are also some minor issues, like street lamps cant be picked up again once you place them.

Above Below
Above Below is a tree-growing simulator in which you can create your own unique tree. Manage resources to grow bigger and stronger. Strengthen yourself against the elements and threats that are determined to destroy you. Learn what makes a good tree great. From seed to tree the journey is up to you!
Campground Owner
Campground owner is very suitable to your needs.
I recommend picking a map with more land then water. You can pick seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall).
In creative mode, you have unlimited cash. I almost always do creative mode. If you want to put anything on the map, I’d recommend that. There is also a survival mode where you have to earn money. You can get that from campers.
If you like to speed up time, press 1(slow), 2 (medium), 3( super fast).
You can’t put different camper’s tent, chairs, grill, or camper together, or it will show the camper’s gear red.

Fun game for some time, I really like being able to place the items of campers down myself in spots that give the most money, and it’s fun trying to get all stars and see money go up.
There are some downsides though, some quality of life improvements that I would like to see.
Once a camper is placed, you cannot see info about them, like with how many they are, how much they’ll pay or for how long they stay. You can see this when they ask to be placed, but still would be nice to keep track of the stay’s duration.

Fossil Corner
Decided to pay for this one as I spent countless hours on Overfull Games previous game, “Plant Daddy”.
I do not regret the money I spent! And I am kind of stingy, especially when it comes to entertainment.
If you like breeding, if you like paleontology, if you like puzzles, if you like decorating, if you like making pretty things! I recommend this game. Fun, intuitive, calm or fast paced depending on your own mood, work as slowly or quickly as you like.
Simple controls.
Few bugs, as it is early release, very minor, sometimes fun/funny!

Super relaxing, super satisfying, super adorable game about completing fossil puzzles and adding them to your ever-expanding fossil collection. It’s the fun kind of addictive!
Initially I was a little hesitant to try it, since in my experience random-generated content tends to be pretty samey, and I wasn’t sure if generated puzzles was something that could even be pulled off. I was pleasantly proved quite wrong, though - the puzzles usually aren’t major brainteasers, but they are enough to keep your attention, and at the end you get to add a new item to your collection to display, which gives the game this well-built, satisfying feedback loop; doing chill puzzles, earning money and fossils, spending money to decorate your room and put more of your cute little fossils on display. Something I especially like is how the game takes something that actual paleontologists do - sort fossils by minimum changes each generation to find their evolutionary paths - and turns it into a puzzle game! A few seemingly simple mechanics make for a surprisingly fun and engrossing game. I’m very excited to see the content updates the developer is adding soon, too. :

Shape of the World
Well… it’s a trip. That kind of trips that usually get associations with some “dilators of consciousness”, drugs like LSD, mescaline or something else… And - yeah, it’s changing the world and subject perspectives, assemblage point of consciousness or giving you a kick onwards to the Zen and inner insights. Or… for the very least, “Shape of the World” is a very good digital sedative/relaxant. Speaking of the marks, this game takes from me 9 sleeps out of 10 attempts to beat it.
And yeah, I’m serious. I felt asleep nine times for one week, trying to finish the game once. Four of them were by the daylight when I was (presumably) up and running. Is it a bad feature? Or am I having some real case sleep disorder? No. I run a somewhat standard daylight course, and sleeping around 6 hours per night usually. Not a complete disaster, compared to my life when I was a student near the exams time… And the relaxing effect was promised by the developer! So, there and now I testify - “Shape of the World” IS quite a relaxing stuff.

Recommended with qualifications, due to recent video problems.
This is a lovely game if you like color and art and admire creativity. It is not a traditional adventure game, it is more of a walking discovery game. There’s a path to find from the meadows to the top of the mountain, but the journey is the thing. How you go is less important than what you do along the way, where you find plants that spring into being as you approach and odd little animals that sometimes follow and sometimes scatter, and occasionally get in the way.

African Safari
It does what it says it does.
Unfortunately, the thing it does is fairly boring.
The map is HUGE and sparsely populated.
Sound bytes of real animals come in extremely loud and are not located on the map. IE. Walking away from it doesn’t make it quieter.
Not worth the price.

Aquarist - My First Job
Fun idea for a simulator game. Controls are ok but randomly the WASD keys get reordered (turned 90°) and character seems sometimes not to be able to walk in certain places although there is nothing in the way. Store selection is pretty limited (understandably) and some elements like bigger stone or wood pieces can only be put to fresh water tanks, and not salt water tanks (will they dissolve in salt or what?). Oh and the characters are unreal.. there is no way that dad character pulled off a hottie like the mom character xD

I have owned a real aquarium for many years until I decided to empty it (and put land plants inside) because it took so much time and wasn’t as satisfying anymore (it is hard to have it look nice like in a shop). I realized I miss watching the fish, so I thought I could get a virtual one.
The game really gives a rather good experience, like you have to check the temperature of the water for the fish and plants add a filter and you can decorate it nicely and so forth. I have played the boy tank story and the decorative tutorial. I also like the graphics. What I most hate about the game (and would probably be a reason of not playing it anymore) is the controls and the constantly moving camera. It is nice that you try to be most realistic with walking around the room to get things and such put it is more annoying than useful. The stuff that you no longer want to hold will just lay around on the floor as I coulndt figure out a proper way of putting them down nicely and then you see more of the room and are more busy trying to navigate so you can pick up things then actually enjoying to look at your aquarium. It also kinda gave me a headache…

bridg
bridg is a game that when I first played, upset me greatly. But, as I played more and more, and singlehandedly created and maintained the speedrunning community for bridg, I learned that the game is a less of a game and more of a test. It is a test in resiliance, in human spirit, and in what in means to be alive. I dont reccomend you play this, as I dont think anyone has the power or spirit as I to handle it.

This is the Demon Souls of kicking a rock across a bridg(e).
It glitches and it’s unfair but I can’t stop playing it.
