Pocket Orchard
★★★★☆ 4.1
Pocket Orchard is the definition of a comfort game. You tend a small hillside orchard, plant new trees, and trade produce with a handful of gently written villagers. There's no failure state — just the slow satisfaction of watching things grow.
It respects your time, which I appreciate. You can play for two minutes to water your saplings or half an hour to plan out a new grove. The art is soft and warm, and the little seasonal changes gave me a reason to check in daily.
