Hey internet brain: My girlfriend and I are looking for a mobile game we can play together long-distance (she’s in Texas, I’m in NYC). I don’t really like competitive stuff so I’d rather something co-op like Stardew Valley or Overcooked but on iOS. Suggestions?

The game looks suspiciously monetized by impatience

oh yeah that is exactly the variety of game it is, the one that does you the kind service of teaching you serene patience by viciously financially exploiting any lack of it

I’d rather pay for a game up front so I can enjoy the fullness of what it offers me. I can drop $5 on a game to not need microtransactions. I’ve dropped $15 on a Square Enix iOS port before.

*nodnod* this is a valid life choice and i support it, i just find that FoE's collaborative maintenance and development mechanics provide a good structure for keeping a baseline level of low-touch contact going in a long-distance relationship

kind of makes me interested in developing something that's specifically optimized for that goal tbh

relationship-centric game design
all the MMOs converged on this but it's all high-touch stuff that you burn out on

This is why I mentioned Stardew Valley and Overcooked
