Some of the most relaxing games are in the fantasy category. With these, it is easy to become lost in a world completely different. Adventures, exploration, and battles are all unwinding elements. Fantasy games are unique because they feature things not seen in the real world, such as dragons, magic, and mythical beings. In this genre, creators are allowed to design impossible beings, imaginary worlds, and fanciful story lines. Because there is so much freedom, storylines are often more captivating and immersive.

This is a magnificent quest where players must try to escape the Underground. You play as a child who has fallen off a mountain and must try to find his way out of the underworld.
