A cozy musical experience.

In Simpler Times, Taina prepares to move out of her childhood home and begin the next chapter of her life. Players relive her memories and learn how she grew into the creative, expressive person she has become. This contemplative, cozy experience allows players to explore her bedroom and spark memories at their own pace.

Music is a fundamental part of Simpler Times, allowing Taina to relive her childhood memories by playing records from those moments. Simpler Times' lo-fi instrumental soundtrack is a perfect companion to the player experience.
