Hello everyone, Arcane here! 👋
Mainstream social media felt way too noisy and aimless with endless feeds, which led me to Mastodon. 🐘
I'm working on Sanctum, a project which filters video games through strict ethical and Islamic standards to share clean and family-friendly titles.
Taking it step-by-step. I’d love to connect with anyone here who values wholesome gaming, clean projects and peaceful digital spaces. ✨

Gaming with my Daughter
Speaking of changes and of Wholesome Games, I am always looking for ideas on what I can play with our daughter or what I can let her play on her own once in a while.
She is not allowed to play anything with violence, anything that isn’t age-appropriate, or games with online interactions. It should also not be a game that uses predatory tactics to urge her to continue playing.
Her favourite game right now is “Bluey – Let’s Play” (the free mini games, not the expensive monthly subscription). She loves placing Bluey and Bingo in the kitchen and combining individual food items to create dishes. On PC, she loves playing the “Find All / Kittens” or the “Hidden Cats” series. Since hidden object games can foster concentration, I think these are good games for her to play. Of course, everything in moderation! Playing a video game is a highlight for her, not something she gets to do every day or all the time.
I was looking for a new game for her recently when I realized that I should probably dig through my Steam backlog first. What I found was Sticky Business. She can’t play it completely without help because fulfilling the orders is too difficult and she also can’t read what the customers are saying – though she isn’t interested in that anyway. Her favourite part is designing the stickers. So now we play together: I run the business side to earn the money and the hearts needed to unlock new items. And she is the one creating new stickers. It is a really nice way to do something together.
It reminds me a bit of my own childhood playing games on the C64 with my parents and my brother – namely, Summer Games and Winter Games. But there was also Create with Garfield, a game I loved that game so much!
While I don’t feel the need to purposefully create such memories with my daughter, it is still nice to be able to share this hobby with her.
So yeah, I am always open to suggestions for harmless fun games to play with small children.

In my last post, I mentioned that I prefer playing Wholesome Games nowadays. I am aware that there is no one definition for what a Wholesome Game is.
I mostly use this term for games that give me a cozy comfortable feeling with no stress, which means usually no time limits. What I also love is games that do not focus on violence. Or one of my personal pet peeves: Solving any and all issues with violence.
What I also like is not having to interact with others. Which means that I usually do not play MMOs much anymore. If I do, it is usually Lord of the Rings Online. Other than that, I prefer games like Town to City, Two Point Museum, City Tales – Medieval Era, Foundation, Hotel Architect and so on.
Another game that I really like is Teddy’s Haven. This game was my number 2 game in 2025 and I still love playing it. It’s slow-paced and I just slowly expand my store. Since the game is still in development, it gets features added as well, so there is always something for me to do or explore. And again, it is without combat and without time constraints. You decide when you open the store. Only then, time progresses. And when the shop is closed and you go to sleep, the next day starts.
All of these games have one major thing in common: they allow me to relax, forget about the outside world, and let go of any real-life stress.

Me he terminado al 100% el videojuego “Is this seat taken?” en #Switch que salió la semana pasada. Está desarrollado por #PotiPotiStudio con sede en #Barcelona (de hecho cuenta con localización en #catalán pero en castellano está espectacular) y publicado por #WholesomeGames. Está por 10€ y dura unas 5-6 horas. Los puzzles son muy entretenidos y con dificultad creciente. Hay bastante variedad pero acaban repetiéndose un poco. Tiene una pequeña narrativa para hilar todos los niveles y es muy positivo y satisfactorio. Echadle un ojo si podéis.
