About

Mist Lab started as a group chat where a few of us kept swapping screenshots of games we couldn't put down. At some point the notes got long enough to become a site. We're not a studio and we don't chase press releases — we just install things, poke at every menu, and report back.

Every game here gets real screen time. That means playing through the early hours at least, fiddling with graphics presets, checking how hot the phone gets, and seeing whether the controls make sense with one thumb on a bus. If a game drains a battery in forty minutes, we say so.

We pick titles across genres on purpose. Puzzles, RPGs, racers, strategy — a phone should do all of it, and we like knowing which games respect your time and your storage. Recommendations come from what we'd actually keep installed.

Nothing here is sponsored coverage dressed up as an opinion. When we like something we explain why, and when a game wastes your evening we explain that too.
