After starting work, I feel so tired every day, so I just want to play some casual games. Recently, I'm playing survivor-like games like Vampire Survivors and Darkchaser. They're simple and fun, but after a while, they get a bit boring. So, I'm looking for other casual game recommendations, preferably single-player games that can be paused at any time, like Plants vs Zombies. Thanks!

it gets more complex and fiddly, and your upgrades make you faster and more nimble, but the fundamentals are the same through to the end. did you get to the bigger reactors and cutting coolant lines? because if so you've seen more than half of the game and it's fair to say it didn't grab you.

also a thought; did you play with or without the time limit? because i feel like the timer helped me stay motivated.

I don't think I had the timer, I don't actually remember there being a choice for one. I think I'll give it another go until I get a few more upgrades, in retrospect I might not have gotten very far at all, I have no recollection of coolant lines. Thanks!

i think you don't get the timer in free play mode. try doing the story on normal difficulty and see if that hooks you :)
