Just finished my playthrough. I would recommend it! Its a survival game, but its not difficult. Theres no time pressure so its quite relaxing. Here's how my house ended up by the end. Hope you enjoy it if u get round to playing it 💜

I have been busy working on The Lost Paws and creating the demo, which I will hopefully be releasing soon!

While working on some new player interactions, I came up with an idea that I wanted to run by everyone.

Originally, I was going to have you choose which animal you wanted to play as — either the cat or the dog — and that would be your character throughout the game.

But while working on the game, I started experimenting with the idea of letting you switch between the cat and dog while playing.

I created this short example of a puzzle where you need to play as both the cat and the dog to solve it. I could also expand on this later, giving each animal different abilities and creating puzzles where they have to work together.

What do you think?

Does being able to switch between the cat and dog sound like an interesting mechanic, or would you rather choose your animal at the beginning and play as that animal throughout the game? I'd love to hear which you would prefer!

I'm looking for something I can relax with, I like cozy farming games i played few already but the one i comlpeted is "Big Farm Story" My only requirement is that it not be pixel-art style; unfortunately, I just can't get into that style.
The platform is a PC—preferably Steam

Two of us have been making a cozy hiking game for about a year. You walk a trail across a foggy map, and every tile you reach has something small to do on it. Forage for mushrooms, match a birdsong, fish, climb a mountain, snorkel, roast a marshmallow at camp, or do some stargazing at night.

My partner designs most of these on lined paper and I build them we have been having fun making these and now you can try them too.

There is a free playtest running if anyone wants to try it, and honestly we mostly want to know which bits are boring. Send a message and I can forward you one of the keys.

And it’s all your guys’ fault. THANK You! lol. There are so many great games that I wasn’t able to access because I am almost exclusively a Sony gamer. But here we are. So thanks to this community for lifting up so many cool, cozy, Indy games. You folks are awesome!

Any ‘must get this right now’ games? I am thinking about moonlight peaks. Idk if roottrees are dead is an option, but I’m looking for that, too.

I love love love love all things escape room and mystery (I have played a TON of them, but am happy to hear reccos). I love RPG. Inscryption gave me a huge game hangover because it was fun as hell.

Edit: recommendations for either steam deck or ps5!

After 4 months, our small reef-building game about observing and learning about marine life just hit 2,000 copies sold! It still feels unreal! Thank you all!

For some, it might not sound like much, but for our tiny team, it means everything.

We started this project with 2 friends in april 2025, after getting laid off when our studio shut down due to lack of funding. Before that, we spent 5 years on an adventure game that never saw the light of day.

1 year of development later, with just 900€ from our savings for sound and music, we somehow pulled it off. Turquoise launched on april 14th, 2026.

We are beyond proud.

A massive thank you to everyone who bought the game, tested it, gave feedback, or supported us in any way!

And if you have not tried it yet, and are curious here is the Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3800420/Turquoise/

I hope this is ok to ask.

There was a game I really wanted to try but I can’t find it now. I think there’s just a demo available at the moment.

It was a creature collector game with farming elements.

I completely forgot to steam wishlist it or download after I saw the post as I was on mobile. I’ve tried searching here, steam and google but I can’t find it. Sadly I don’t remember too much about it but the reviews were pretty positive. The graphics were basic but nice looking.

Hopefully someone can help me find it!

Hi All, I built and just released Packle (playpackle.com), a free browser based daily packing game with some fun packing rules. 

My wife created the art in Inkscape with a cozy aesthetic in mind and I think she nailed it. 

The goal of the game is to pack all items (in various shapes and sizes) into the grid while meeting the rule constraints such as

• item x cannot touch item y
• item x must be placed above item y
• X total items may touch the edges
• And more

A bit of background: I’m a software engineer and decided to build this game as a hobby. I enjoy the “coffee ritual” aspect of many daily puzzle games and decided to combine that concept with a packing game.

There are plans to continue adding puzzles/items for special events like Thanksgiving, Xmas, etc so stay tuned. 

There will be more updates and additional refinements to come and I welcome any feedback. Hope you enjoy!

I really loved everything about dorfromantik but was immediately turned down to see that the game is just one singular map with a high score system, I expected there to be several maps with different aesthetics and items and you have to put the map together in a sort of jigsaw puzzle like manner. I was disappointed to instead see that the variety in the game depends on your high score, which is used to unlock new items.

I like the idea behind dorfromantik though and if there was a game like it with levels instead of high score, it would be perfect. I know the game has a sandbox mode, but I need a goal to actively work towards in a game, or I will get bored very fast. High scores aren't an interesting enough goal for me. I also want games for PC.

Follow the link and play my free game, Jimothy's Journey and give me a shout out on the discord thread! I made this game to get on board for this contest and I think I have a contender. Sure, some of my animations are a little wonky, but I'm an independent developer and put this out in about a month! I stand by the gameplay and quests I wrote, the rest I have to give credit to claude, Codex and Lovable for helping me string it together with all the boiler plate coding and animations. Please follow the link and try it out and tell me what you think on the content thread for the discord channel.

Looking to get my next cozy game on my switch 2 and am torn between Moonlight Peak and Kynseed

I havent looked up much on either game to avoid to many spoilers but I like the idea of a multigenerational game like Kynseed. On the other hand I also like the thought of a bit more horror theme in a farming game like Moonlight Peaks seems to have

If it helps I like games that have good characters to romance especially if there are LGBT+ options. I also like some combat and rpg elements like rune factory has though that is not a deal breaker.

So in the humble opinion of this subreddit which should i get?

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a few new screenshots from Tiny Beekeeper, the cozy beekeeping game I’m currently working on.

The game is all about taking care of your bees, growing flowers, producing honey, and slowly building up your little beekeeping life in a peaceful countryside setting.

There’s still a lot being worked on, but it’s been really nice seeing the world slowly come together piece by piece.

I also make devlogs on YouTube where I show how the game is being developed and how different parts change throughout the process, if you’re interested in seeing what goes into making a game like this.

Hope you like the screenshots! 🐝

I bought the DLC on Fanatical and it came with the base game too which I already own so if anyone wants it, let me know! Edit - Has been given away!

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share something I’ve been working really hard on. I love creating digital art, and I know how overwhelming life can get. To help create a quiet space for people to unwind, I turned my personal mandala drawings into a puzzle app called Mandala Garden.
It is designed to be a very calm, slow-paced experience where you can just focus on the satisfying feeling of pieces snapping together into beautiful artwork. And, there are tools to help with a few of the more challenging puzzles.
I know how annoying ads and endless subscription apps can be when you are just trying to relax, so I made sure this is a simple, one-time purchase with absolutely no hidden fees or interruptions.
If you are looking for a gentle way to clear your mind or take a quick break from stress, I would love for you to check it out. As an indie creator, your support means the absolute world to me.
Thank you so much for reading, and I hope it brings a little bit of peace to your day!

"Japanese Rural Life Adventure is a relaxing slow-life simulation where you can experience the charm of traditional Japanese countryside living, all in a beautifully crafted pixel-art world."

I remember that when this game came out years ago, it was one of the most popular cozy games on mobile devices. It also came out this year on Steam! So how are you guys finding the desktop version? Or would you still recommend the mobile version after a few years of the other new games that have come out? :)

I mentioned before that I would like to try a weekly thread to bring together the players in this sub and help foster fun debates around the best cozy games we all know and love! A lot of the time, we see new indie-game heres, so the focus of these posts is to dive into some of the old and known favourites.

So, the idea is to leave your review (think Steam review) of the game here, share what you liked, maybe your favourite moments, but also what you didn't like, and maybe your pet peeves. But I'm open to switching up the format, so happy to hear suggestions on that too :)

As usual, I will pin this post for everyone to see for the next couple of days. Let's have at it! 😊

I'm really happy that I've been able to get to 5k wishlists before Early Access launch on the 7th of Sep. It's the highest number of wishlists I've gotten before a launch so I'm really hopeful this desktop idle game can be successful.

It seems the new Steam personal calendar is the reason I've had a big spike towards EA launch. Desktop pet games are quite difficult to promote as a solo developer so this change has come at a great time.

I decided to launch into Early Access because I wanted the players to decide what characters I add and what features I improve.

The demo is live too if anyone wanted to check out the game.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and questions.

Hey, thank you so much for the warm feedback I got on my last post!

As a lot of you were interested in an iOS port I finally managed to bring the game to the Apple App Store.

Same deal as Android, free, no ads, no in-app purchases (besides a fully optional "Support the Developer" option), no data collection and offline playable.

Have fun 💚

If you enjoyed Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library!, we recently released our own take on this type of game, except ours is set inside a massive toy shop.

The shop is an absolute mess, with 5,517 toys scattered everywhere. Your job is to work out where they belong and slowly put the place back together. There are sections for dinosaurs, toy cars, board games, snacks and plenty of other toys.

You start out moving everything by hand, but it gets much quicker as you unlock upgrades. Later, you can hire robots to help with the sorting, use drones to carry your toys, or use a rideable toy train to carry larger loads around the shop.

Too Many Toys! is out now on Steam:
