    east shade. Its morrowind but you paint and talk to aminals

    toem. you take photos and talk to aminals and ghosts

    carto. You put maps together, cute puzzler

    garden of the sea. VR game, grow crops and solve puzzles. Super cozy vibe.

    sable. botw with no combat. Ride a bike around different areas and solve problems for people. Its a vibe and pretty wholesome

    later alligator. cute detective game, animation is cool

    to the moon. story driven game about helping people near death's dreams come true. Its emotional

    Cloudpunk. play a poor young woman moving to a future cyberpunk mega city and drive as a taxi driver, sometimes you get people asking you to do dodgy stuff.

    spiritfarer i haven't actually played much of this one but it was pretty cool what little bit i did play.

    a short hike its like a microcosm of botw mixed with animal crossing. Its a very short game but its cool, you climb and hike and talk to aminals.

        eastshade studios announced their next game not too long ago i think. It's 2d, understandably i'm sure producing something like eastshade was an undertaking for what started as such a small team. I'm excited for it tho

        my favorite bit of eastshade was the mystery in the hotel out on the island.

      Came to this thread to recommend Sable. One of the best things I've experienced in years. Really good art and music. It's a game so relaxed there's no set plot. You're allowed to go out into the world and complete as many quests as you please. You're perfectly free to complete only one and then go back home. It's really charming.

        so good! I couldn't put it down. Such a cool vibe and the visuals were so unique.

        I really like the concept of people's coming of age ritual being to just take some time off to experience the world and see what their calling is in life. Unexpectedly really wholesome.

      spiritfarer is one of my favorite indie games in years. Very very good. It's very easy for that game to make you cry imo
