Mooncube Games, the studio behind Spirit City: Lofi Sessions, is hosting the celebration on Steam from August 26 to September 2. There are several categories based around learning and growing:

  • Productivity and Study Tools
  • Typing and Keyboard Skills
  • Language Learning
  • Brain Training and Cognitive Development
  • Coding and Programming
  • Creativity and Artistry
  • Environmental Education
  • History and Geography
  • Math and Logic
  • School Life and Academia
  • Science and Exploration
  • Trivia and Knowledge

These categories can sound stuffy, but the titles included are actually a lot of simulation games. Management and building sims like Sticky Business, Gourdlets, Autonauts, and Islands and Trains are on sale.

There are other types of simulation games too, such as the farming sim Chill Town and life sims like Growing Up, Whimel Academy, and Chinese Parents. 

Productivity games are a big focus of the celebration, offering several titles that are focused on helping players get the most out of their day. Generally, this means checking off a user-created to-do list for incentives. 

There are creature-collecting productivity games like Spirit City: Lofi Sessions and Time is Honey. Others focus on creating a customizable atmosphere for relaxing and encouragement like Virtual Cottage, Flowence, and Chill Pulse. 

Many games have something to learn from them, and there are a lot of learning-specific games being celebrated. There are several genres for learning too, and they’re not as rigid as you might think.

For example, Code Romantic teaches players about coding in a visual novel otome game, and Hiragana Hero teaches players about reading Japanese hiragana in a dungeon-crawling RPG format. 

Here are just a few of them and what you can learn from them:

  • Shashingo: Learn Japanese with Photography – language learning
  • Glyphica: Typing Survival – typing skills
  • Noun Town Language Learning – language learning
  • GB Basic – game development

Whether you’re looking for your next relaxing simulation title or enhancing your skills, the Back to School Games Celebration has something for everyone. Those interested in picking up a new game can browse all the available titles here.
