Tiny Pasture is an idle pet farming sim that runs at the bottom of the desktop screen while you’re doing other tasks. The pets have sprite animations which run around and nap. It looked cute, so I gave it a whirl and I am now addicted. #SendHelp Look, objectively it’s not a great game. The…

Death and Taxes is a quirky, choices matter sim where you play an office based reaper, deciding who dies from the comfort of your desk, before popping along to the pub for drinks with your colleagues. As a concept, it’s fabulous. Your boss is an enigma, providing instructions which make little sense. He does have…
