Start your day with this extremely relaxing fish video from Among Ripples

Last month, I fell somewhat in love with an ultra-gentle, early access management sim about freshwater fish. Among Ripples: Shallow Waters is, even as a proof of concept demo, a solid tycoon game. But what really took me was its take on the “tycoon” part. This isn’t a game about chewing up a disposable world for resources, but about tending, shepherding and expanding ecosystems, back into the spaces chewed up by human expansion. Better still, it isn’t framed with “wE’Re AlL dEad, tImE to LeT tHe cOckrOacHes HavE a TurN!!!” nihilism, it’s about compassionate, sober-minded people in the near future, working hard after a rough time to make things beautiful again.
