Sneaky Sasquatch

Sneaky Sasquatch puts the player in the fur of a shaggy sasquatch who earns a little extra among tourists in a national park by stealing snacks, taking on odd jobs, and even owning a car he can freely drive around the open world. The game from studio RAC7 Games combines stealth elements - hiding from park rangers and camping families - with a relaxed simulation of everyday life, where the sasquatch spends his earned money on upgrading his little house, clothes, or a better car, gradually building his own small lifestyle among humans.

The game's tone is deliberately harmless and funny, with no violence whatsoever - the biggest risk is getting spotted and chased off, not losing in the sense of a classic action game. The open world gradually grows with new locations, minigames like golf or fishing, and side quests, so the game also works as a laid-back collection of small activities rather than a linear story with a clear ending and a closing credits roll, which makes it suitable for playing without any long-term planning.

Controls are purely touch-based, with a virtual stick for movement and contextual buttons for stealing, driving, and interacting with characters, so the game stays legible on a small display even for younger or less experienced players. Sneaky Sasquatch is one of the titles in the Apple Arcade lineup, so it's played without ads or in-app purchases - it's a game with a steady supply of free content as part of the subscription, which sets it up for long-term, undemanding play in short bursts, ideally as an evening wind-down.

Why play it: Ideal for players looking for a relaxing game without stress or violence who have access to Apple Arcade, where it can basically be played endlessly.
