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 !

  • Sable - but you'll want to use protontricks to install dxvk
  • Stonefly
  • Far - 1 & 2 are both good, but I still prefer the first one
  • Vane
  • Lightmatter

I don't think that dxvk is a thing that you're supposed to pull in on its own. Any recent version of Proton (and especially ProtonGE) brings its own up-to-date copy of it.

That's certainly news to me. I suppose it just really needs the latest version. There was a noticeable improvement to stuttering and fps.

That game is interesting though. Some things the community sees as bugs, like the audio glitches, have been claimed as an artistic choice.
