Colony Tide

Colony Tide is a builder with a clever twist: the sea rises and falls, so land you rely on at low tide vanishes at high tide. Planning around that cycle turns a cozy sim into a genuine logistics puzzle.

Menus are clean and the tutorial doesn't drown you, which is more than I can say for a lot of sims. I lost more hours than I'd admit optimizing my dock layout around the tide chart.
