What game are they playing? My best guess is Terraria.

But also, yeah, relatable.

edit: added full stop.

My husband and I just rediscovered Civ after not playing any of them for a decade.

Even now, a decade later, we have been sitting there for the past 2 weeks being like "Just one more turn" @ 2 am.

Fair warning, TV Tropes link.

There's a name for that: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JustOneMoreLevel

Or something like factorio. And that's entirely unrelated to why I'm awake after midnight.

Hmmm, Factorio is fantasticio, but does not resemble a side scroller in my experience.

Maybe Steamworld Dig? Which I would highly recommend, btw.

My first thought was Terraria for sure, and it's definitely a game that can keep you up.

That's an excellent point.
