When you want to slow down further, the Meditation Hut has guided breathing sessions you can set to any length.
Players tell me they play it to relax, to unwind at the end of the day, and to fall asleep to. Have a look at the reviews!

Bloom Island used to be called Bloom & Cinder: same garden, same developer, new name. It's a sequel to Out of the Dark, rebuilt from the ground up as a cozy garden sim.
This is for anyone who wants a quiet escape. A calm, dark garden to tend, magical flowers to grow, and a small light to carry into the rest of your day.
Supported entirely by players who choose to chip in. Thank you for making it possible.
Start your garden today, one magical bloom at a time.
Ratings
The gameplay loop is satisfying and the art style is cute. The setting of “cozy garden in an ominous cloud of depression” is interesting and so is the message.
I love this game! Reminds me somewhat of my all time favorite childhood game, Harvest moon, but without the pressure of completing heavier tasks.
This is a beautiful and relaxing merge game. Very f2p friendly. But I don’t mind throwing the dev a few bucks because it’s a such a nicely made game and your money will…
