The Longing
This has to be one of the most zen games I've played in ages. It's got some idle mechanics, but there's so far always been some more exploring or whatever to get on with, and it's just such a chilled out game. The time mechanic is such a great manifestation of the narrative theme of the game, making it really satisfying to jump in, explore the caves at a leisurely pace, and really take your time soaking up the mood, before returning home to check out your new decorations.
If anyone hasn't played this yet and is considering it, go in knowing as little as possible, and don't look anything up as you go. Just accept that it's slow paced, and in time, you'll find what you need and how to get it.
