What do you play when you want to switch off?

    After working on the computer late into the evening, I sometimes get into bed and still keep thinking about work.

    I’d like to try a calm game for a few minutes before sleep. Nothing fast or hard, just something with nice sounds that I can stop at any time.

    Looking for more games along these lines:

    I’d prefer something I can play on my phone, either an app or in the browser. What would you suggest?

    Old school RuneScape fits those requirements. However, beware, you may just not stop after you start with this xD.

    For switching off on my phone, I like something calm and short that I can pick up for a few minutes without getting pulled into anything intense. A relaxed Android gacha-style game works well for that, with colourful characters and simple sessions you can stop anytime. I found https://gachanebulaapkmod.com/ useful for checking the characters, gameplay and updates before trying it. Monument Valley is another good calm option from the original list.
