A SummerGameFestPlayDays demo of SimplerTimes gave me the positive encouragement I needed ahead of a big move.
This story is part of the Digital Trends Summer Gaming Marathon series Simpler Times is that rare game preview that also lines up with goings-on in my personal life. At this year’s Summer Game Fest Play Days, I was able to check out the meditative Day of the Devs indie game from Stoneskip and iam8Bit about packing up to move just before I move across the country in a couple of weeks.
Recommended Videos Embrace the move In Simpler Times, you play as a girl named Taina who is packing up things in her childhood home as she prepares to move away to college. It was inspired by the personal life experiences of its developers at Stoneskip, who recently made the move from Berlin back to Transylvania. My Summer Game Fest Play Days demo was for the game’s opening, which sees Taina packing up things and also eases players into the game’s controls.
There are a lot of cute, smaller interactions, like taking photos with a camera or picking up a pencil and drawing on a piece of paper, that add more depth than expected. Imagine an immersive sim where instead of trying to find the best way to get through a room or complete a challenge, you were just trying to explore the space to its fullest. I didn’t even find the notebook that serves as an objective list of sorts until the end of my demo time.
