Oh, that bird inside your head? Don’t worry about it, it’s just exploring your secret desires. In Aery, you play as a gliding bird that zaps into the minds of humans to glide around manifestations of their inner psyche, collecting shards of memory to advance a story. A chill exploration game full of cute cozy environments, this one looks particularly compatible with indulging in a relaxing substance of your choice before picking up the controller. No fast twitchy combat, just cooooool bird vibes. The latest installment in a series of similar games (Aery – Sky Castle, Aery – Calm Mind, and so on), all of which have proven to be effective meditation tools for those of us whose minds just WILL NOT SHUT UP whenever we try to unwind.

Platforms: Developer EpiXR is frustratingly opaque about this — Switch and Steam for sure, and maybe possibly XBox, Playstation, and some VR???
