Commentary response: I'd like to suggest "personal abode" or "private abode." A synonym of home can perhaps help differentiate slightly.

I suddenly have a desire to see a scene where the villain is stalling with gloating. Then the heroes lean into it, with both sides eventually realizing the other is stalling, resulting in a change in discussion.

Reminds me of this panel from El Goonish Shive (highly recommend if you haven't read it, though it has a slow start).

I have various categories for steam games, one of which is "podcast games" for this very reason. It's a common use for relaxing games.

Just shows:
Natsume’s Book of Friends
Bocchi the Rock
Aria
Nichijou
Call of the Night
Psycho-Pass (season 1)
Girl’s Last Tour
Violet Evergarden
Kimetsu no Yaiba
Non Non Biyori

(If movies are included Maquia would be on here)
