\"Nivalis<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Nivalis Nights<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

Everyone’s been waiting years for this cyberpunk “slice of life” and shop sim and I’m logging my nightly progress<\/a> as my noodle bar empire begins. I enjoy a good shop sim, especially when there’s decorating to do too. Nivalis Nights<\/a> is moody and neon-drenched and has a deeper shop finances simulation than I was expecting. I may be sinking a lot of hours into this!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Songs<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Songs of Glimmerwick<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

This is the wizard school game made specifically for me. It’s sort of in the Stardew vein of life sim with gardening and a seasonal schedule. I liked the Songs of Glimmerwick<\/a> demo I played this year quite a lot<\/a>. I really enjoy all the voice acting and its musical take on magic but I especially like its hopeful message about a world emerging from a generation of regressive politics. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
