A word from the author: My name is Adam Howie and I am a geek. I have been since before I knew there was a word for it. I have been into computer and technology for the better part of 20 years and science (since pre-school when I would watch Open University) where I have a particular passion for physics. Like many of my kin I am also a fan of sci-fi, from Aliens to Star Wars, Bladerunner to Space Balls. If all that is not geeky enough for you, I am also a gamer both of computer games but also board, card, and role playing games. Oh, and on-line I am better known by my pseudonym “Lurch Kimded”.

In this time of economic, environmental, political, and personal chaos it is good to take a moment to stop, reflect, meditate for a moment and then pick up your mouse and have a go at some chilled out games from across the world. Yup that’s right chilled flash games are a beacon of our oneness as a species… kinda.
Its been a while since my first chilled games post, “Take a chill pill and click“, so I was asked to make another, so for your enjoyment here is my second collection of chilled out games. I think these should help us all just take a moment and chill a bit. Just remember that when the blood pressure rises, reach for the mouse and click.:
Closure:
Dark game, both literally and metaphorically. Simply find your way through various levels and let the light guide you for darkness is quite literally nothingness. Creepy fun and quite laid back in a goth kind of way.
Hoshi Saga:
Japanese… weird… and chilled… what are you waiting for go, I’ll wait for you… basically a series of games to find the star in each stage, more difficult than you think but its simplicity keeps you coming back for more and more… speaking of which here are parts two and three.
Room Escape:
Another Japanese game, this time your standard point and click adventure but set in one room with some wonderful chilled ambient music. I eventually managed to complete it by clicking randomly and finding the hidden objects/clues. Its worth the slight elevation in blood pressure, so it just makes the cut.
Open Doors:
Open door, close door, open door, close door… simple really… well… most of the time.
Cursor*10:
By the same people who made Hoshi Saga, so the third Japanese game here, what can I say I found a bunch recently. It a simple game simply click your way up to level 16 by going up stairs, pressing switches, and scoring points… the twist is each time you only have a certain length of time and then it resets and you follow the ghost of your previous cursors.
Achievement Unlocked:
OK, not really a chilled game by almost any stretch but I couldn’t resist this one. Simply get all the achievements :)
