Simpler Times<\/em>, the game that\u2019s sweet like honey on a summer\u2019s day, is out right now. Simpler Times <\/em>is a soft and slow exploration game set in a supremely cozy bedroom, featuring a lifetime of memories to uncover and a soundtrack of soothing lo-fi music. Simpler Times <\/em>is available on Steam<\/a>.<\/p>\n The game takes place over four seasons, as the protagonist, Tania, clears out her childhood bedroom and looks back on her life. Her room is compact, with a wide bay window, a desk, a bed and a record player, which controls the game\u2019s soundtrack. Players have to physically swap out the vinyl to keep the lo-fi beats going: remove the record, select a new one, slide the arm back and forth, drop the needle down. The process is meditative and rewarding, just like the rest of the game.<\/p>\n Indie studio stoneskip and publisher iam8bit announced Simpler Times<\/em>\u2019 surprise launch during the Day of the Devs showcase, which is part of Summer Game Fest. We played the demo at last year\u2019s SGF and found it to be the coziest game of the show<\/a>.<\/p>\n Catch up on all of the news from Summer Game Fest 2024 <\/em>right here<\/em><\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
