Quiet games for winding down at night

Not every game session needs adrenaline. Some nights you just want something to hold your attention softly while your brain switches off.

Lantern Hollow is my current go-to for this. No fail state, no rush, just wandering and gentle puzzles with the sound on. Skyline Mechanic works too if you like methodical, repetitive tasks.

Big Bass 3in1 lands here as well, honestly. The casting loop is calm enough that it doesn't wind me up before sleep, and I can put it down mid-session without penalty.

The common thread is control over your own pace. Anything with an energy meter or a countdown gets left out of this list on purpose.
