## WAYWARD SOULS (iOS)

### BY ROCKETCAT GAMES

While the *Zenonia* series has always been a mobile-RPG standby, they lacked a certain finesse. *Wayward Souls,* then, is a breath of fresh air, rejecting that clutter and infusing some much needed roguelike influences (the *Souls* name here seems far from unintentional). Deviously simple but permanently challenging, *Wayward Souls* delivers rapturous fun of the “one more round” variety.

**Perfect for**: Fans of *Mage Gauntlet*, budding warriors, those that wish to praise the sun while in transit

**Playtime**: Short for a single playthrough, but rich on replayability

## AMONG RIPPLES (PC, MAC, ANDROID, LINUX)

### BY EAT CREATE SLEEP

Sim games usually go macro; feudal empires, bustling metropolises, sprawling interstellar civilizations. *Among Ripples* takes the micro approach. With no HUD and no instructions save for a brief tutorial, you’re tasked with keeping a pond ecosystem alive. Spawn fish, otters, and clams; adjust the oxygen level; manage toxins. Let it wash over you and you might find it as absorbing as a game of *Civ.*

**Perfect for**: Aquatic biology majors, anglers, anyone putting off cleaning the fish tank

**Playtime**: As short or long as you like.

## DAYLIGHT (PC, PS4)

### BY ZOMBIE STUDIOS

You might think you’re attached to your phone now. But *Daylight* will make you cling onto that $500 piece of glorified aluminum like your life literally depends on it. Because in this survival horror game, it does. Your only weapons include clear-headed judgment and the eerie glow from your techno-screen. And as if that wasn’t enough, the procedurally generated layouts, buildings, and events ensure you can never get comfy.

**Perfect for**: Horror junkies, technocrats, people in C-level hospital positions

**Playtime**: Depends on willpower, or how long it takes to clear a few big levels
