Hollowreach

Hollowreach is slow in the best way. You descend through connected caverns, solving light environmental puzzles and slowly piecing together what happened to the place from scattered notes.

There's no combat to speak of, which won't suit everyone, but the mood carries it. The sound design on headphones is excellent, and the gentle tap-to-move controls keep you in the atmosphere rather than wrestling with buttons.

I played most of it in one long, cozy sitting. It's the sort of game you recommend to someone who says they don't like mobile games.
