Limbo plunges the player into a monochrome and mystical universe. Playing on the effects of light and shadow to create a very special atmosphere, it also uses all the physical possibilities that the environment can bring (rotation, gravity, etc.). The player is thus mistreated, and must find a way to solve the various enigmas in order to reach the end of each chapter.

Alto's Adventure and the next episode Alto's Odyssรฉ are really beautiful games (I have a preference for the soundtrack of Alto's Adventure however). When you hit the Zen mode and have a headphone... It's kind of magic. I don't know how it is on App Store but on Android Alto's isn't commercial but freemium.
I sincerely would not call Limbo, INSIDE, This War of Mine and Lifeline relaxing, having played all of them. Limbo's challenging, especially if you're going for full completion. INSIDE is a wonderful game, but set in bleak, depressing and, some times, disturbing dystopia. This War of Mine is angst-y and involves too much survival and sad subplots. Lifeline conveys the feeling that it requires some kind of urgency, gets your heart pumping.
Overall: just don't play games before you sleep... haha
Not listed but I highly recommend:

This War of Mine is too depressing for me to ever play.
all apps are commercial. Only one freemium and that is not in android. Any free ones for android?

Seems like the freemium one, is new on android.
