Mineko's Night Market is the cozy game September needed

September has been a high-octane month for video games. We got a loud multiplayer shooter in Payday 3, a tense spy thriller in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and a whole lot of gore courtesy of Mortal Kombat 1. Doesn’t all that just make you want to chill out a little? I can only take so much blood and noise before curling up on the couch with my cat and smoothing my brain over with something a little gentler.

She gets a bit of background in the form of a feline-filled folktale before settling into her new routines. Each day, she’s able to scour the island for resources and increase her friendship levels with the locals by giving them specific gifts. On Saturday evenings, she participates in a weekly event dubbed the Night Market.

That loop can get repetitive quickly. In the early hours, when I didn’t have the money to purchase new tools, I spent days waking up, picking flowers until I ran out of stamina, crafting the same two items I had recipes for, and going to bed. Even when I got items like a fishing rod or ax, each of which introduces its own button-timing minigame à la Spiritfarer, that flow roughly remained the same throughout. Long load times further slow days down, which can be a drag on busier days.

The more money I make and resources I grab, the more I’m able to fulfill villager requests during the day. Each time I do, I’m given a new crafting recipe that expands what I can make at my various crafting benches, like bouquets and paper dolls. It isn’t just effective as a collect-a-thon hook; each one expands the efficiency of my little business. More recipes means more money. More money means I can buy new workbenches and tools.
