Looking for an Itch Recommendation? (kbin.melroy.org)

Hey all, Sorry if this is not a great magazine to post this. I'm looking for a nice cozy game (for a non-gamer!) to play for about an hour or so a day instead of doomscrolling. I like the idea of a game where I can make slow progress, though I don't tend to like the traditional RPG style. But something like a slow moving simulator or whatever could be great (for example, I really enjoy MiniMetro on mobile). Thoughts?

Have you tried animal crossing or Calico? Any of those "build your home" kind of games could be good.

Journey is often recommended too for cozy.

As a slight oddball one, maybe Fez or What the Golf

    If I am thinking of the same Animal Crossing and Journey as you mean, neither are on Itchio.

    I and looks like most others read this as "a game to scratch my itch". If OP means games specifically from itch.io they should spell that out a bit more because that's very different.

    I did mean itch.io, but that's alright - the ambiguity was my fault and I'm not completely set on itch.io.

    A nice thing about Lemmy is that you can edit titles! You can change your title to say itch.io

    (also shameless plug for !videogamesuggestions@lemmy.zip where this post would definitely fit in, I see posts asking for recommendations/suggestions all the time on other gaming lemmy communities and wonder if they know of the community specifically made for that)
