We're a small indie team and we've wanted to make something cosy for a while now after releasing our first game (dark fantasy souls-like). This is what we've been working on for months now.

It's a cosy management sim where you sail down the river on a teahouse boat through a Ghibli-inspired world. You can explore little river towns, forage real herbs, and brew tea for whoever you meet along the way.

We wanted to make it a bit more interesting too so every town has its own little drama unfolding, quests, and even side quests that you get pulled right into it!

First two images are concept art we did like a month ago and we still look at it whenever we're stressed lol. The last two are how it actually looks in engine now.

Honestly, making something this soft, warm, and cozy has been such a nice change for the team. but since it's still our first, we wanted your opinion.

Would you guys dock your boat here for a while? Is the world worth spending hours in? Does it make you happy?

I've always loved having Christmas villages set up during Christmas time. This game tries to capture a little of that feeling (for a lot cheaper and takes up less space).

You can build up the village how you want. This first year there are 2 village themes: an Old English village and a farm. After you've built it how you want, you can decorate everything! Once you are done, you can explore your village on foot, or share it with others.

It will be available in mid November on Steam and mobile.

Hi everyone! I’m part of the team making Coldline: Disconnect, a pixel-art game where you work undercover as a repair technician during the Cold War.

I wanted to share the hands-on repair side of the game: opening devices, removing screws, and working through repair tasks. These GIFs show some of the interactions and little details we’ve been working on.

The full game also includes espionage and tense situations alongside the repair work, which is worth knowing if you prefer entirely relaxing experiences.

Our Steam demo arrives on October 16, 2026. If you enjoy games about tinkering with old electronics, we’d love to hear your thoughts after you try it!

Hi! I'm a 3D artist who has worked on Paw Patrol and Dora, and Pack Pals is my first step into low-poly game and cozy game development! ( LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-b-reddick-77a16329/ )

Pack Pals is a relaxed Android ( iOS Coming after! ) game about collecting charms and pins and hanging them on your backpacks! You spend tokens at capsule machines with themed sets that restock daily, plus a seasonal machine that changes every week. Your charms dangle and clink as you spin your bag. There are 24 backpacks to collect and upgrade and over 100+ Pins and Charms to collect. You can also decorate your room and send your pet on trips, and it comes home with tokens and postcards. I would love to get some feedback from some cozy gamers to really see if I'm hitting the right vibe and tell me what feels good and what doesn't!!

Testing Links coming soon!

Hey, a few days ago, a buddy of mine released the demo for his upcoming super chill incremental game. It's called Valehands, and based on an older gamejam project of his called Lumberite. You manage your dwarves through the day until dusk is falling, buy buildings, new rooms, get lots of upgrades.

See how the dwarves cut down trees, other dwarves pick them up, every morning you can shoot new seeds through the seed catapult.

If you want a chill management/incremental game, check out the demo on Steam :D

No AI is used in this project.

I’m obsessed with tortoiseshell cats. Are there any tortoiseshell cats in any video games? Don’t even have to be cozy games.

Hi all! I'm a solo dev with my best friend, my doggy Rey 🐶. I'm making Pawtings! Hidden Dogs - a hidden-object game where you look for dogs hiding inside real museum paintings.

Each painting starts with its colors faded out. Every dog you find brings some color back. Find them all, and the whole canvas is restored.

There are two modes: normal mode, and full cozy mode with no timer, no weather, no events. You choose how many dogs are hidden before you start, and they hide in new spots every time.

Up to four players can play on the same screen or online, searching together or racing each other.

I'd love to hear your feedback, thank you!

I'm the developer of Pet The Damn Cat! at Crowned Games.

Between the timed cat-petting shifts, you can wind yarn into balls and catch falling kibble with a sliding bowl. These are two screens from the full game.

Pet The Damn Cat! is coming soon. A separate free Steam demo covers Cozy Cottage and Sunny Backyard.

Would you pick yarn or kibble between shifts?

After way to long tonight I figured out how to make zoom in work on the Steamdeck. This is more than just the one zoom this is the up close zoom.

First you need to update your controller settings to add control key (if you haven't already).

After that when you want to zoom in, click whatever you mapped the control key and then (while holding down the first key) click either L1 or R1. The L side will scroll in the R1 will scroll out.

I ended up mapping both L4 and R5 to the control keys. Then I could kitty corner and not have it be obnoxious.

Hey there! It's been a few months since I last shared this project, and I've been hard at work adding new features. Including:

- New "Tickets" mechanic! Players get rewarded with tickets for overshooting the goal score, encouraging more risky combo chasing.
- Market! Players can spend their tickets in market, this allows a lot more strategic decision making then before.
- STICKERS! This one I'm most excited about because of how much emergent gameplay it creates. Stickers can be applied to any card in your deck, and different combos can create pretty wild effects!
-Controller Support!

If you're interested to try it out, and help shape the future of the game, I'm opening up a small closed playtest which you can join through Discord.

Brick by Brick: Tidy Up the Small Town!

Hi all!

I'm Tom, one of the 2 developpers working on Knick Knack Stack. We just released a big gameplay update and QoL overall to our public Steam demo!

Knick Knack Stack is a physics-based puzzle game inspired by Art of Balance, mixed with visual novel elements. You travel the world, goof around with the physics, build tiny piles of objects and take cute memory pictures of your creations! It's meant to be relaxing and a bit goofy!

We gathered feedback from our 1st demo and agreed that the puzzles lacked in variety. That's why we decided to add new mechanics in every main levels. These mechanics are unique to their level and change the way you interact with it. Solve the mysteries of the magic glyphs in the Valley of the Kings, play with the crocodile at Dakhla oasis and dig new objects from the ground in the Sahara desert!

We're also planning a 2nd update in the future, entirely focused on narration. This update will bring a revised script with a better introduction to characters, and overalls to most of the dialogues in the game with shorter dialogues, better pacing, more interactions between characters, new pictures and less annoying conversation subjects. But this will take a bit of time to make, as we need to write everything in French, and then pass it to our translator to get the English version.

Feel free to ask anything, about the game or about us, I'll gladly answer your questions!

Here are some of the games I’ve been playing lately! I clearly love cute art styles, cozy little games, decorating, cats, cafés, and simple puzzles.

What other cute and fun mobile games should I try? My iPad still has plenty of space, so please keep the recommendations coming! 💕
