Its premise – planning subway routes for a growing city – might sound stressful, but its methodical process is actually weirdly soothing, like ironing out your brain. Mini Metro is a minimalist game about managing an underground travel network, kind of like playing the Tube map. It will turn you into a detective, sticking your nose into strangers’ drawers and prying open windows to get into attics. Pan around little doll’s-house dioramas of people’s homes, hunting for clues as to why everyone in a small town has disappeared. Tiny Room Stories: Town Mystery (Android) This is a puzzle game with heart and soul that will make you feel by turns incredibly stupid and like a total genius. In this game you are a little monster exploring the ruins of a long-dead human world, pushing over trees to create bridges between islands and find your way around. All you have to do is tap to jump now and then, but this game casts its spell with chill music and enticing aesthetic.
