A Tavern For Tea

This charming game is part tea-brewing simulator and part visual novel, where you'll play as a fantasy tavern's owner serving "tea that your customers didn't know they needed." The world is filled with humans and demons, but that doesn't mean its inhabitants can't share a story or two over a cup of tea.

The quick play time at just under an hour takes you through a tale of missed connections, along with a chill soundtrack and an in-game gallery you can unlock as you progress through the game.

Terra Nil

This Netflix exclusive is a "reverse citybuilder" in the sense that you'll need to bring life back into a barren wasteland by letting all the greenery flourish. You'll have to purify the soil, clean up the ocean, and create a true ecosystem for flora and fauna alike.

The game also features a variety of procedurally generated maps with all kinds of terrain, making each run a unique experience. A relaxing soundtrack adds to the meditative charm of the game as well.
