Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space
A smartphone RPG launched in 2017 in which the protagonist, found in a forest, embarks on an adventure across three eras: the Ancient, the Present, and the Future.
It also does away with common smartphone app features like friend systems, making it appealing as a straightforward single-player game you can jump into anytime.
Perfect Hit
“Perfect Hit” is a board game app made overseas.
It’s a simple game where you collect balls along the route and make a clean dive into the goal, but it’s surprisingly tough! At higher difficulty levels there are more obstacles and the speed increases, so the trick is not to panic.
It’s perfect for killing time—you’ll find yourself getting hooked before you know it.
Shephy
The card game app Shephy.
Originally known as a physical card game, it’s now available as an app so you can enjoy it on smartphones and other devices.
There are cards that increase and cards that decrease, and by using them skillfully to raise the number of sheep to 1,000, you win.

Eldritch Horror
This is a Cthulhu-themed board game set across the entire world.
Players choose their favorite character from 12 investigators, and at the start select one boss card from four types.
The different combinations offer a variety of ways to enjoy the game.
It’s recommended for people who want to fully grasp the traits and abilities of the characters and cards and engage their brains to the fullest while playing.
Brown Dust
BrownDust is an RPG where you place mercenaries on an 18-tile grid to battle.
The winner is whoever defeats all of the opponent’s mercenaries first.
It’s fundamentally free-to-play, so if you like to make casual progress in your spare time, you can enjoy it plenty without spending money.
There are many characters, so once you learn their skills, you can also enjoy strategic, brainy battles.
Roller Splat
Roller Splat is a very simple coloring game.
Just roll the ball to fill in the tiles! However, the ball can only move in straight lines and won’t stop until it hits a wall.
It looks easy, but filling in the last remaining tiles can actually be tricky.
Since it’s a mobile app game, you can play it in short bursts during your spare time!
Sling and Jump
A game where you swing on a rope and use centrifugal force to fly toward the goal.
Like Tarzan, keep leaping from one point to the next.
Land on the crown at the goal to earn a high rating! The character is a mysterious, dark-looking lifeform—sometimes round, sometimes square—and each shape flies a little differently.
It’s simple, but incredibly addictive.
