15 Relaxing Mobile Games That Will Help You Get Through The Hustle And Bustle Of Life
The world is not chill, but you can be.
1. Adorable Home
Adorable Home might seem an odd choice as we're all locked indoors, but this idyllic game is about every millennial's dream: owning their own house. Let the game's chill background music soothe you while you make bentos, decorate your home, and adopt cats and dogs.

2. Tsuki Adventure
I personally love this game! You play as a sort of 'guardian angel' for Tsuki, an adorable tiny rabbit who moves back to his hometown after the death of his grandfather. Tsuki Adventure is a casual game where you can just check in whenever, and you'll find your carrots have grown, Tsuki has unlocked a new location, or a new diary entry awaits.

You can continue more shenanigans with Tsuki in Tsuki's Odyssey as well! Find it on iOS (Free) or on the Google Play Store (Free).
3. Hungry Hearts Diner
Hungry Hearts Diner focuses on a grandmother who runs a small, quiet Japanese diner. In addition to typical cafe management mechanics like cooking food and serving it to customers, there's also a storyline and characters' history that will slowly unfold.

4. Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley is the chillest, purest game anyone could've wished for. It has all the same elements of the cult favourite Harvest Moon, but in adorable pixel graphics set to a calming soundtrack (I even listen to the soundtrack while I work - it's that peaceful).
