Purrfect Date is notable for its incredibly dark sense of humor as well as its cast of unusual romanceable cat characters. There are many games that combine dating sim gameplay with RPG elements, including high-profile series like Persona and Sakura Wars. In , this latest entry in the series, a reboot of sorts simply entitled Sakura Wars , was released, placing players in control of Seijuro Kamiyama, a demon-fighting soldier.

Games like Kena depict the breath slowing and draw attention to the sights and sounds of the natural world. Then there is Journey that allow us to sit when we stop moving or Flower that encourages us to slow our pace with scenes of where we have just been.
