Wide Ocean Big Jacket
An aunt and uncle take their middle-school niece and her boyfriend on an overnight camping trip in WIDE OCEAN BIG JACKET
Take part in a classic camping trip: Roast hot dogs on the fire, go birdwatching, tell ghost stories, grab a beverage from the cooler and do cartwheels on the beach.
WOBJ is a short story game including 20 chapters, 4 playable characters, 10,000 words of dialog and 8 explorable areas, all rendered in a beautiful 2D/3D art style.

It's a little story in game form. Only takes about an hour to play through, so if you want a little thing to chill out to on a rainy evening, that's what I did, and I'd recommend it.

A great, real experience about camping.
Don't neglect the demo! It's totally different content (sort of a prequel? Maybe a sequel?)

If you've played Firewatch, then WOBJ will feel like a familiar but fresh take on walking around the woods and campgrounds.
A little slow to start story/action-wise. You will love the characters, though, especially Mord. Some very poignant and unexpected moments in the game that make the most of the limited mechanics.
Definitely recommend and it'll only take about 60 - 90 minutes depending on how long you want to linger...

Just the absolute cutest. Poignant and genuinely funny writing make for a wonderful bite-sized bundle of wholesome summer vibes. What a delight.

Get this game or risk not being visited by a rat in the sink (important: DON'T feed him)

One perfect hour of content. Extremely cozy with genuinely wholesome and funny dialog, a rarity.

My Experience
Wide Ocean Big Jacket is outstanding. I had a grin on my face for almost the entirety of my playtime. Although the events of the game could easily be described as mundane, they are presented with so much charm and character. The game could easily translate into an excellent film; however, the player would then not be so involved in the comedic timing.
The text overlays corresponding to various actions often made me laugh, and Mord (the teenage girl) is so refreshingly exuberant about EVERYTHING - it's one of the things I've lost a bit as I've gotten older, and I would like to get back in touch with that part of myself. Although there aren't any real "bombshell" life-changing moments for the characters in the game, I certainly found myself thinking about why and how we develop traditions and about the various "milestones" of life.
If you don't require a particularly high stimulation threshold and need your games to be challenging above all, you should absolutely play Wide Ocean Big Jacket. It will make your day.
