VA-11 Hall-A is one of the games I hold dear to my heart. Developed by a Venezuelan indie game studio, Sukeban Games, that was originally started off as a blog for Japanese Pop Culture discussions.
In the world of dystopian cyberpunk city-scape, you got to play as Jill Stingray, a bartender at VA-11 Hall-A. It's a very chill and relaxing game, with interesting quirky characters, very engaging dialogs, cool musics, mini games and a couple of unique mechanics here and there.
The art style is fun, nostalgic and visually beautiful. The story itself is the most important part here. It's very mature, relatable, and compelling. There's drama, comedy, a little bit of mystery, it tells a story about how we as human beings makes mistakes, how we cope and live with it, how we find ourselves a resolution, to forgive, to be more connected and open, and learn to love ourselves.
It's one of my favorite games of all time. And if you're looking for a story-driven game, pixelated art style and cool musics, dystopian cyberpunk aesthetic background, and WAIFUS; you need to check this one out.
It's available for PC/Linux/MacOS, PlayStation 4 & Vita, Nintendo Switch. The game has a TapTap page and it seems like they're planning to make an official Android port but it hasn't been updated from its "Pre-registration" status since 2017 (sadly). But there is an Unofficial method to port the game to Android that you can find on the internet.

Beautiful narrative
Being a bartender in a cyberpunk dystopia city that is living is problems is not only interesting. VA-11 Hall-A has beautiful a pixel aesthetic that is really good complemented with music and story, the story goes in a lineal way but it depends of how well you are with customers and your skills to know more about what is happening and how to go with the story.

Day 21: Boba Story
Platform: Android
This is a cute, chill little shop management sim where you have to serve customers their orders of boba tea. There's no extensive assembly line or anything, just when they want one, you tap them, and it automatically makes it. The only exception I've seen to this so far is when a customer wants a flavour that's not on the menu, you then have to set up a drink that contains it. There are frequent prompts to do a little mini game to make the drinks, which are fast and simple. There are many ways to customise the drinks, from the flavours, to the lids and straws, all of which are super cute. You can also customise the different areas of the shop, such as the waiting area and prep counters, etc.
