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 !

~~I would recommend grabbing this bundle: https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/safe-in-our-world-charity-bundle-2025 It's got a kinda weird mix of games, but a lot of the games are great and several are fantastic for what you're asking. Of particular note:~~

Edit: unfortunately that bundle is out of stock, and I just realized it. Sorry. My recommendation for the following games is still valid though:

  • Little Kitty Big City - play as a cat doing cat things and exploring a japanese city. Very chill, fun animal characters, real fun experience.
  • Thank Goodness You're Here - very well animated adventures in a british town. Less of a game and more of an experience, but very enjoyable.

Too bad, but I'll check the games individually, thank you!
