Game scores built to fade into the background, keep you calm and somehow get the inbox to zero.

1. 1

   Minecraft – Volume Alpha — C418

   Gentle piano that feels like a nap you're somehow productive during, and nothing beats it for deep work.

2. 2

   Stardew Valley — ConcernedApe

   Every season's theme makes filing expenses feel like tending a farm you actually care about.

3. 3

   Outer Wilds — Andrew Prahlow

   Campfire banjo and cosmic dread, just right for a task you've been putting off for a week.

4. 4

   Celeste — Lena Raine

   The chill tracks keep you going and the intense ones get you over the deadline.

5. 5

   FTL: Faster Than Light — Ben Prunty

   Synth loops that make a quarterly report feel like a desperate run across the galaxy, in a good way.
