Harvest Hollow

Harvest Hollow is comfort food. You inherit a run-down plot, plant crops, befriend townsfolk, and slowly turn a muddy field into a place worth visiting.

The clever bit is the schedule design: days are short enough to finish tasks without stress, and the game auto-saves at every dawn so you're never punished for closing the app.

It won't reinvent the genre, but the writing is warm and the loop of tidy little chores is exactly the sort of thing I reach for before sleep.
