Driftwood Cove Days

Driftwood Cove Days is the game I reach for when I want to unwind. You arrive in a run-down seaside town and slowly bring it back to life by exploring, helping neighbours and uncovering small mysteries along the shore. No timers, no pressure, just wandering.

Movement is simple tap-to-go navigation, and the map opens up gradually as you earn the townsfolk's trust. The writing is light but charming, and every little area has something hidden if you poke around long enough.

It's not for anyone craving a challenge. But as a cosy evening game it's hard to beat, and the hand-drawn coastal art stayed pretty on every device I tried.

What we liked

• Relaxed, pressure-free pace
