Minami Lane is an incredibly short but sweet management sim all about creating the most charming little road that you can! Accompanied by a helpful tanuki and beautiful low-fi hip hop soundtracking, you must work resident satisfaction and smart fiscal investing to grow your street to meet specific objectives. In each of the game's five missions, the missions and optional objectives all felt feasible without min-maxing any certain stat or investment scheme, an issue I've had with management sims in general. With a runtime of maybe two hours, it's hard to recommend this as hard as I want to, but with its low buy-in and wholesome enjoyment, I really liked Minami Lane.
