Tiny Harbor Town

Tiny Harbor Town is the game I open when I want to switch my brain off in a good way. You build up a small harbour village, arrange docks and shops, and keep the little residents happy. There's no timer breathing down your neck, which is the whole appeal.

The management side is light but not empty — you do have to balance space and resources, and later the layout puzzles get more interesting. I found myself tearing down and rebuilding my main street just to make it flow better.

It's not going to challenge anyone hunting for depth, but as a wind-down sim it does exactly what it promises.
