Casual Games

Casual games are the ones that ask least of you. No reflexes worth speaking of, no systems to learn, no penalty for wandering off mid-game — just a clear activity you can start and stop whenever. That includes clicker and idle games that tick along on their own, colouring and decorating games with no fail state at all, gentle sorting and organising games, and simple simulations that exist mainly to be pleasant. Calling them casual is not a judgement on depth; a few of these have quietly elaborate systems under the surface. It is a statement about pressure. If most games feel like they are demanding something from you, this section is deliberately the opposite, and it is the right place to start if you are choosing something to play while your attention is partly elsewhere.
