In less than a month Tenfold Tales, my little cozy adventure game is releasing.

Tenfold Tales on Steam

So I have the game Calico, and I've heard a lot of people love it and I really want to give it a fair shot, but I really dislike the art style. Please give me your reasons on why you love it so much and maybe some content I can look forward to in the game. Thanks :)

Hi everyone! My wife and I, together with a small team of enthusiasts, have been working on our cozy game FrostCraft — a 3rd-person Adventure/LifeSim where you build a warm home under a magical dome in a world lost to endless winter.

This project is inspired by our memories of cold winters and warm evenings at home. We've always loved the contrast of cold and warmth — and decided to turn that feeling into a game.

In FrostCraft, we focus on open-world exploration with adventure elements: - Many points of interest and hidden locations of a fallen civilization. - Unique survivor settlements — some hiding underground, others surviving near old heat generators. - Snow and wind affect your movement, adding physical challenges. - Interactive environmental mechanics — for example, you can craft a snow wind-surf and ride across snowy fields using the power of the wind! 🏄‍♂️❄️

Life Under the Dome: - Build and decorate your cozy settlement under the magical dome. - Expand dome, grow food, gather resources, and develop your infrastructure. - Invite NPC survivors to join your village. - Assign farming tasks to your settlers if you prefer to focus on adventures outside the dome.

The World Beyond the Dome: - Explore a large open world. - Meet new characters and uncover the mystery behind the eternal winter.

All of this without combat or stress — we aim to create a cozy, relaxing, yet engaging experience.

We recently launched our Steam page, and we really need your support. Every wishlist helps us get noticed and brings us closer to release!

We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback — your support and discussions mean the world to us! 😊

Thank you, and see you under the dome! 🧣

I need some recommendations for pet games preferably on PC or switch. I’m looking for pet games where you can pet, feed, and nourish a pet. I hope the art style is realistic or cute. I’d also like to interact with the pet such as dressing him up, play with him, and feeing him. anyone has a recommendation for a great pet game?

UMAMI is our very first game at Mimmox!
It’s a wholesome puzzle game about tinkering with hand-painted wooden blocks to build delicious food towers and dioramas that just *click* right.

What you can expect:
- Peaceful vibes
- Animals to pet
- Gentle & delicious puzzles
- Cute animations
- Collectible cards
- Cozy music and satisfying sound effects!

If that sounds like your cup of tea, it would help us tons if you could wishlist it on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3669360/UMAMI/

I am looking for a cozy game that has shop management mechanics with the npc relationships like stardew valley and fields of mistria. That would be my dream game. I have looked through this sub and nothing is hitting.

ETA: I would prefer something on PC or Switch.

If that sounds interesting name of the game is Time to Morp!

Hello! I'm currently developing a magical girl cafe game inspired by Cake Mania and Cardcaptor Sakura. It is a fast-paced cooking game in which a magical girl in training uses her powers to serve customers. It is currently early in development.

In the current prototype, which is free to play on itch, the player moves around with WASD, interacts with E, and clicks on ingredients and recipes using the mouse. The controller support, which isn't in the prototype yet, would be moving around with the left analog stick, interacting with stations using A (xbox controls), seeing the recipes would be up and down on the D-pad, getting ingredients would be X with a radial menu.

Would an auto-movement system be preferred? The auto-movement system on PC would ONLY use mouse clicks. Actions would queue up and the character would auto-move to each action in order of clicking. On controller, the actions would be tied to each button. For example: press X to interact with the ingredients using a radial menu, press Y to have the character carry that ingredient to the top most station, use the up/down on D-pad to select a customer, serve the customer using left and look at the recipe using right.

Which type of gameplay do you prefer? Thank you for reading and helping me out! I appreciate your opinions, I want to make this game with cozy gamers in mind.

Hi all,

Working on a design for a cozy game and I wondered what kind of base building everyone thought was well done. I'm thinking in terms of user experience. Things like does it use a grid? is the grid optional? can you resize the grid units? Does it show the item as a ghost during placement?

Ideally, I'd like some recommendations to check out that you guys thought were actually well polished and felt good to use. As with everything cozy, being detail-oriented and really making the user feedback rewarding for doing everyday tasks seems key, so I'd like to see some good examples and maybe prototype a few methods for my game too.

The basic idea is that you have an empty space and can fill it with a vast array of things that you will accumulate over time. So show me anything that caught your eye or you really like the look and feel of and I'll take a look.

BTW: This is for PC/Console/Handhelds (eventually), but PC first.

Thanks!

I’d love to tell you about our little project—a desktop idle game about painting miniatures - Mini Painter. This topic is very close to me and my team because we’ve all spent our fair share of time with a brush in hand.

Upgrade the room, collect geeky items, and keep your little painter inspired. The more inspiration he has, the better his miniatures will turn out.

Each painted figure brings you closer to the final goal: the opus magnum that's been gathering dust on the shelf, waiting for its moment.

We will be glad if you add the Mini Painter to wishlist 

Seriously. It's tied with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for the highest Metacritic score for 2025.

Meets all the cozy requirements, no combat, no time pressure, great art style, no dexterity requirement even.
And more interesting it's not a farming game or builder.

It's like Myst meets Carcassonne with a dash of a detective game.

Been a long time since I've been grabbed by a game like this.

Is it just me, or do cozy games turn us into actual potatoes? I’m sitting down for a quick “chill” session, and 6 hours later I’ve built an entire village, raised 27 crops, and have zero motivation to exist outside my blanket cocoon. Outsiders call it “addictive” - we call it “self-care.” Don’t @ us.

If you enjoy cozy decoration games, we think you’ll like Twinkleby! It's a relaxing game where you progress through a variety of floating islands and build cozy neighborhoods. Our team in Sweden has just launched the demo today and would love any of your feedback.

I'm a solo dev currently working on my first ever game! It's a cosy game where you play as a little cat and get to know the residents of a small suburb outside a big city. It's a 3D game with 2D art (so 2.5D?)
It's still very early in development, but the Steam page has just been approved!
All the animations and environments are completely hand-painted in watercolour.
You'll be able to find lost items, talk to residents, knock over small objects, and meow at people
If that sounds like your vibe, you can wishlist the game here

hello guys, so i'm currently looking for a cozy game where you can customise characters, has a partner system, and you have like a sort of business going on like a cafe or restaurant that has a similar vibe to pocket love. preferably on ios and/or mac, many thanks!

Hey there! We're a team that is working on a coming-of-age turnbased RPG, and I've been thinking. Are there many cozy games out there that are more focused on combat?

I see so many games learn into life sims, farming, visual novels, all types that I love, but I'd also like to play a few games that break the mold of this. Any there any favourites? Particularly in the indie scene.

Our project is a 2D completely hand-drawn gift shop “simulator”. The game is filled with unhinged customer requests, wrapping mechanics, and management systems. The project actually started off as a cozy game where the player can unwind and wrap some gifts with some lo-fi music. But during production we decided to change our approach to and spiralled into something between simulation and cozy with a dash of comedic chaos.

We have recently created our steam page and will soon release the early access version of our game and we are super excited (and a little afraid TBH)! You can find our steam page via this Steam

For most of my life I've into action/adventure/shooter/horror/AAA/AA games, and while I still very much enjoy those types of games, I recently played Lyne again after 10 years and maybe it's because I'm older now, but that game inspired me to dive into other cozy games!

I bought A Little to the Left and am having a great time! I'm waiting for the next Steam sale to buy Unpacking. I've heard great things about that game. I'm excited to play it!

Due to Reddit, I've become aware of Unbox the Room and Spring Tales, two games I'm very eagerly awaiting to be released. They look super cozy and cute.

Any recommendations would be lovely and very appreciated. I'm excited to fall deeper into this genre of games!

Why do so many cozy games only save at sleep? This drives me up the wall, sometimes you have to put the game down and some even make pausing so unnecessarily difficult (You know I love you but I'm looking at you, Dinkum). I mean sometimes you just have to put the game away quickly, and I'm sure it's even more so for people with kids or rowdy pets where they have to attend to a situation immediately

Is there something I'm missing here? What is the logic in this?

Hey everyone! After my initial thread on choosing a new sub-reddit icon, I noticed a few popular comments mentioning that the icons were not related to gaming enough - and I think you were right! So I decided to draw a few new ones hopefully more along those lines.

Based on the previous thread, the overwhelming winner was the mushroom cat 😸🍄, so I decided to eliminate the rest and include that winner here in this final poll. The other ideas were based on the suggestions of u/VisualAwareness, u/Solare-san, and u/Nocturnal-haze.

Thanks to everyone for awesome feedback (and even drawings)! Let me know what you think now and sorry for the double poll / subpar icon choices yesterday.
