Roots of Pacha is basically like a Stone Age version of Stardew Valley, a co-op farming and life sim from Sofa Den. The Sun and Moon update is a big one and it's out now.

LIBRITOPIA: Librarian Simulator is a game that based on the name, probably doesn't need an intro. As part of a wave of these simulator games (there's suddenly quite a lot of them), here you manage a library.
