Recommendations for short session games with materialistic progress made with each session (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I am not a professional gamer nor do I have much time to invest into a game in one stretch. However I do enjoy the cumulative progress I make with each session I have with the games, specifically progress of acquiring loot, money, powers or in-game materials. Are there any games that try to match my interests?

An example of such games would be Papa Louie's food games. Though these are very simplistic and made for kids, their per-day game sessions (which last about 10 minutes) perfectly fit the idea of the type of game I am looking for. (I could have come up with a more appropriate or mature example, but that is exactly the point why I am looking for similar games.)

I have looked into the genre of roguelikes, however the basic premise of these games are that they start all over again from each session, which is what I am trying to avoid.

I can play on PC (controller included) and mobile. Apart from this, I would really appreciate if the game is under 10GB, single-player and is just easy in general to understand and play.

I would recommend Dave the Diver. I haven't played it much yet but it's been playable in short spurts and has incremental progress that's been fun so far. And it has gotten really good reviews

I also can recommend Dave the Diver. The longest dive session I've had is only 30min. Each day is broken up into multiple dives/activities. So a 'day' in game can be anywhere from 30min to 2 hours depending on how far into the game you are. The game also just continues to add new things. I'm in Chapter 5 and over 15 hours in and there just continues to be MORE things to do!
