Games
Video games I play with my daughter
At time of writing these are games that my daughter and I play or have played. We only have Apple Arcade and a PS5 controller, so there are many missing titles that others would be very keen to include.
We might look into ways to get PC gaming on a Mac, or go ahead and buy a switch. But for now here are our favorite titles.

Try next
Based on what’s already on this list — short stories, quiet puzzles, and beautiful places — these are the four to try next:
- A Short Hike — a small, kind climb; closest to Alba and Donut County
- Monument Valley 2 — the sequel, from the same studio as Alba
- Assemble with Care — a short ustwo story about fixing objects for people
- Old Man’s Journey — a wordless walk, closer to Florence than to Gorogoa
