Queenright
Aunt June left you one colony, a cedar shed and a notebook. Queenright is a beekeeping game about the one skill that matters: reading comb. Smoke the door, lift the roof and drag a top bar up until the screen fills with living wax — solid arcs of sealed brood from a queen in her prime, pepperpot holes from one that is failing, and the sealed queen cell you learn to dread. Underneath runs an honest colony model: brood pipelines, swarm pressure, varroa, and stores a February cold snap can empty in a week. Super, split, requeen, feed and heft for winter. The almanac remembers what killed what.

HELIOGRAPH — Signals Across the Iron Valleys
The line went dead at Cold Hollow and you are the new signal-keeper. Turn brass mirrors to walk a beam of sunlight across a hand-drawn valley and into the receiving station — then learn to split white light through a prism into three colours for three valleys, to husband a beam through fog that drains it, and to arrive on the beat while army shutters open and close. Twenty-four stations across five chapters, every one machine-proved solvable, with an honest par and a quiet score of plucked strings and glass bells.

Wilding — Wildlife Rescue
Run a rural wildlife rescue centre across three seasons. Everything through the door is a real casualty: a swift grounded because it cannot take off from flat ground, a hedgehog too light to hibernate, a fledgling that was never orphaned, a barn owl with a fractured coracoid. The craft is examination and judgement. Weigh it, palpate it, radiograph it if the tin will stretch, and name only what your own findings support. Then decide the hard thing: whether it can ever go back out. Some cannot, and the game says so. Seventeen authored cases, seven cages, eight hours a day.
