Boulder & Hunger Sim. Despite being slow-paced and having long run times, the requires attention similar to some extreme hyperactive/comp situations. This is all due to the fact if you even blink or even remotely

This game is still getting updates in 2026. I am oddly more attached to this game than I thought I would be upon first playing it. 8/10 would highly recommend. 10/10 when you have friends that would play it too.

Wow, what a fun, yet challenging game! It's very brutal at times, but getting better at the game, and eventually mastering the systems is a ton of fun. The coop is really good as well, being a great way to help people
