Capitalism Ho! It's a whimsical tale of the daughter of a dead shopkeep, who also inerhite a big pile of debt. You will struggle to send heroes to the dungeon to fetch stuff, visit the markets to buy low, sell high and try to entice your customers to buy, buy buy! Really a nice game to learn basic capitalism and have fun at that!

A favorite of mine in the same vein of Stardew Valley. A (mostly) cozy game that lets you go at your own pace. You play as a little Recette, a young girl whose father seems to have abandoned her to be adventurer and subsequently disappeared, missing presumed dead. In doing so, he saddled Recette with a mount of debt. In comes what is essentially a fantasy Repo Faery Woman, Tear, who understands the difficult situation Recette is in and decides to help her through it, by having Recette run an Item Shop. The target main clientelle is mostly Adventurers, but the shop sells to anyone who comes in the door. The other half of the game comes from picking an Adventurer partner to run through a Dungeon with, using mostly simple Action RPG mechanics. There's quite a lot of fun to be had here if you can muster up the patience for it.

Wolfenstein RPG
Wolfenstein RPGWolfenstein RPG is a first-person shooter and role-playing video game developed by id Software and Fountainhead Entertainment, released in September 2008 for mobile phones and in May 2009 for iOS. In 2013 the game was removed from App Store. The gameplay follows the recipe from Doom RPG as it is shown in the first person while being a turn-based role-playing game rather than a shooter and puts emphasis on the plot. Combat and movement are turn-based, allowing the player time to select their responses in combat. The player turns at 90 degree angles and moves space by space. One step or action by the player allows all other characters in the area to take one step or action themselves. The game takes advantage of its deliberately slow pace, encouraging players to take their time and check out every little corner, read the books on every bookshelf, and destroy all the furniture to see if anything is hidden within. Levels include underground passages and weapon development laboratories plus a level involving a moving vehicle. The game also includes two mini games: the card game War as well as Chicken Kicking, where the player is awarded points for kicking a chicken into a score area.

Xenogears
XenogearsXenogears follows protagonist Fei Fong Wong and several others as they journey to uncover the truth behind mysterious, cabalistic entities operating in their world. The principles and philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung influence the plot, character design, and world of Xenogears. Additionally, the symbols, theological concepts, and devotional practices of several world religions are represented in fictionalized forms in the game. Major psychological themes are the nature of identity and human memory, particularly as these relate to the phenomenon of dissociative identity disorder. The relationship between humanity and machines is central to the game's plot, as indicated by the presence of giant robots dubbed "gears," which almost each playable character can control.
