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 !

  • Lost in Play - adorable game about two siblings and their imagined adventure...or is it?
  • Tinykin - platform puzzler collectathon with zero enemies. Just cozy vibes.
  • Freshly Frosted - Want to feel personally encouraged by a soothing narrator while making donut machines?
  • Tiny Glade - make cute castles. That's it!
  • KeyWe - kiwi mail delivery. Literally.
  • The Were Cleaner - werewolf janitor.
  • Little Inferno - silly game where you burn things to get more things to burn. Also, Sugar Plumps!
  • A Hat in Time - puzzle platformer collectathon that's cute and creative
  • Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate - silly point and click adventure. Looks like I'm gonna have to jump...!
  • Hidden Through Time - Where's Waldo but more animated.
  • Thomas Was Alone - platformer where Thomas might not be as alone as he thinks (in a good way).

Same. I should replay that one.

While Little Inferno is a great game, and starts light and breezy it turns pretty dark later on. May not be exactly what OP is looking for.
