I’m looking for PC games that I can play while listening to podcasts- games that don’t have engaging cut scenes or important dialogue, games that honestly don’t require a lot of skill or thought.

I used to be really into things like Farm Frenzy, Rescue Team, hidden object games, that kind of thing. I got heavily into MMOs and stopped downloading casual games for a decade or so.

Now it almost feels like this sort of game isn’t made anymore? Were they completely nuked by the existence of Gacha games, P2W, and anything that earns the dev a constant income stream? I’m happy to pay for a game once, but I can’t be constantly buying booster packs.

I also don’t want to play on mobile or on a console, PC Master Race here, haha.

    Turmoil:

    It’s a 2d game where you drill for oil, then have some light logistics management to do to load it in to barrels on horse waggons and then sell it. It’s a lot of fun.

      I seem to have a vague memory of playing this or something very like it long ago. As it’s F2P I’ll give it a whirl, thanks!

        Turmoil is not free but it was at least at one point included in Amazon Gaming for Prime subscribers, for a temporary giveaway window.
