Hideaways is an immaculate take on spot-the-difference games. It unfolds through beautifully crafted worlds, handmade atmospheric music, untimed scavengers, and 144 human stories — gently woven in, where places carry real feeling and stories are discovered, not told. Both a moment of calm and a quiet challenge, Hideaways invites you to slow your breathing, calm your mind, and wander through aesthetic and auditory pleasures — all while gently exercising attention and memory, and inviting reflection on real-life moments and stories.

About

Abendpatience

Features
Read full description

Nine classic Patience games in one app. No ads, no coins, no energy mechanics — just cards, clear rules, and a quiet moment to yourself. From the well-known German Patience to the demanding Russian Solitaire, Abendpatience brings together the true classics of card-laying. Including the rare variants you won't find in the big solitaire apps. Whether you're unwinding after work, on the train, or right before bed: Abendpatience is the quiet companion for anyone who genuinely loves Patience. FREE TO PLAY German Patience — the classic almost everyone grew up with. Play with 52 or 32 cards. Easy to learn, endlessly replayable. Little Harp — one deck, seven columns in a triangle, four foundations. The perfect second game when you've got a few minutes. WITH ABENDPATIENCE PRO Russian Patience — two Skat decks, 64 cards, all dealt face-up. Only the outermost card of each row is playable. Strict rules, no drawing. Russian Solitaire — all cards visible, groups move freely. Demanding, but deeply satisfying when everything falls into place. Forty Thieves — two decks, ten columns, one goal. Every decision counts. The Harp — the bigger sister of Little Harp: two decks, ten piles, eight foundations. King's Patience — all four Kings as foundations, twelve helper slots, draw three at a time. A classic two-deck game with its own distinctive rhythm. Grand Patience — all 104 cards dealt face-up from the very first move. No drawing, no luck — just planning. Napoleon Patience — cards follow a doubling rule rather than suit or sequence. An unusual game that keeps surprising you.
