It has been more than month since the Extended Community Quarantine has hit the nation. How are we holding up? Many of us resorted to work-out routines, Dalgona coffee mixes, TikTok dance moves, and video games. But sometimes, these things tend to stress us out rather than ease the tension. Sometimes we just want to sit still and chill.
So when your energy is down, and all the work-from-home tasks and house chores are done, it’s time to just relax. Grab your phone, check your notifications, and play a few minutes of these super-chill mobile games to help you relax and pass the time.
