I’m looking for PC games that I can play while listening to podcasts- games that don’t have engaging cut scenes or important dialogue, games that honestly don’t require a lot of skill or thought.

I used to be really into things like Farm Frenzy, Rescue Team, hidden object games, that kind of thing. I got heavily into MMOs and stopped downloading casual games for a decade or so.

Now it almost feels like this sort of game isn’t made anymore? Were they completely nuked by the existence of Gacha games, P2W, and anything that earns the dev a constant income stream? I’m happy to pay for a game once, but I can’t be constantly buying booster packs.

I also don’t want to play on mobile or on a console, PC Master Race here, haha.

    I want to try this game so bad, but I can’t justify 35$ for a game like this. I hope we see some discounts during the summer sale

        Yup the devs have stated they won’t put in on sale. In fact they raised the price fairly recently to adjust for inflation.

        The game is worth every cent. Try the demo - you’ll know if the game is your jam or not pretty quick. (Though the demo is very “on rails” while the main game is much more Freeform and open)

      Don’t wait for a sale on this game, the developers have specifically said it won’t ever go on sale

      It has a free demo if you want to check if it is something you’d like. I definitely sank a shitload of hours into it and finished a few audiobooks and podcast backlog on it.
