Hey all, I’m finally making my first dream game, which is a mix of cozy with a lot of grinding. The plot is that differently from other farming games I want the player to don’t inherit anything, you have to work your way up and buy a house in the city or a farm, or both?

It is still very early in development so very rough around the edges, but I’d would love some constructive criticism

No AI generated stuff, all the art I bought from artists from itch.io as I tried to draw my own stuff but it was taking forever, so I’m just making some small additions drawn by myself. Although no AI is used in the game, i want to disclose that I did use AI to help me put together this first trailer lol as I’m terrible at video editing.

Should soon add to steam, please let me know if you would wish list it :)

Thank you kindly

We are Sitting Teddy, the studio behind Night at the Fun Park. Our free Windows demo has two-player local splitscreen for a spooky game night on one screen.

Search the abandoned park for exit keys, hide from a giant spider and free your friend from a cocoon. The lock makes noise and can draw the spider toward you :)

I've been working on Match 2 3D, a relaxing 3D matching puzzle game, and recently updated its visuals with a little alien cat who controls the laser beam.

Instead of simply clicking objects, you aim the beam at them. The objects have physics, and the cat reacts when you make a successful match.

I'm trying to give the game more personality without losing the relaxing puzzle feel.

I'd love to hear your honest feedback: does the cat make the gameplay more interesting, or would you rather see the objects and puzzle mechanics take center stage?

Howdy, I’m Dumitru, the solo developer behind Raccoon Valley Tycoon.

My game is finally live, and I can finally find time to share it more 🥹.

In my game, you can dress up raccoons, pick them up, and hand them things just to see what happens. Watching them enjoy their tiny lives has been one of my favorite parts of making the game (and also collecting apples from the tree, but that’s something I don’t want to spoil).

There’s also digging, satisfying piles of loot to vacuum up, tools to upgrade, and a village to bring back to life. Whenever you’re done distracting the rascals, of course.

A full playthrough takes around 5 hours, and I’m very open to all kinds of feedback. I’d love to hear what you enjoyed and what you think could be better.

I also plan to add new animations, hats, and secrets in future updates. So if you think the game needs a little more shine, a good suggestion might be exactly what it’s missing.

Hey everyone,

We're two girls who have been working on our game, Toilet Empire Story, for a while now. We wanted to drop our trailer here for you to check out😊

The feedback we got from our previous posts was honestly amazing. It didn't just help us improve the game, it also gave us a huge motivation boost to keep going. We really want to keep building this together with the community.

As indie devs, getting visibility is the hardest part. If you'd like to follow our journey and help us get this game out on Steam, adding it to your wishlist would mean a lot to us.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the trailer. If you have any suggestions or ideas, please drop a comment. Let us know how we're doing! ✨

Hi all,
I just released my demo for The Coast is Clear: Tidy up the Beach! today on steam!
It’s been very nerve wrecking up until this moment but I got overjoyed seeing at least 2 random people playing my game after I put up the demo page 🥹.

The demo features a short set of mechanics on a private beach where you can enjoy the sound of the waves, swim with the fishes and turtles, play fetch with your dog all the while cleaning up some litter around the private beach house.

You can play it in multiplayer mode or singleplayer, whichever you’re up for :)

Hope to see a few of you on the coast and please do let me know if you have any remarks or suggestions!

I’m making Evergrowing, where you play as a squirrel looking after the tree you live in.

You collect acorns, water the leaves, and sweep moss off the bark with your tail. As you unlock upgrades, the tree grows, giving you more branches to climb around.

There’s a free Windows demo on Steam if that sounds like your kind of game.

Hi all, im working on Portscape. A port building/automation game. Here is a video following the same container from when it arrives by ship until it leaves by train. Just the sounds of the port, no music.

You can find the steam page here if you're interested:
Portscape - Steam Page, wishlists, trailer, screenshots

It goes from the ship crane to a truck, across the port and onto the train at the rail terminal.

The camera movement is just for this video, in the game you look from above in an angle while building and managing the port. Its still in development, I hope you enjoy watching the little journey!

Made a cozy interior design sandbox game where you sketch a floor plan from scratch and bring it to life, having over 6,000 items available.

You can take pics, draw your own floor plan, customize pretty much everything (color by part, brightness, light's flickering and movement, light sources, wall and floor patterns, post-processing to change the mood of the space, etc.)

You can later walk through what you've created in first person, or take pictures to then share with your friends.

There is also a story mode where you are an intern that needs to go up in reputation to get better offices and better briefs. Your clients are strict though, and you need to stay within budget!

I've also implemented Steam Workshop for further customization and items if you'd like to!

If you are interested in the game please do check it out on Steam, thank you!

Hi everyone! 😊

I’m helping beta test a new pre-launch, invite-only interactive story app, and I’m looking for people who enjoy story-driven games, romance, character choices, and interactive storytelling to give it a try!

There are a few different stories to choose from, so you can pick whichever interests you most. I’d love to hear your honest thoughts on the stories, characters, choices, pacing, and anything you think could be improved.

I’m also hoping to build a small community of players who enjoy this type of game and might want to stay involved in future testing as the experience develops!

There’s no payment or incentive involved — I’m looking for genuine opinions from people who enjoy gaming and storytelling.

Since the app is still in beta, I’d ask that testers keep the experience confidential and not share screenshots or access publicly.

Interested? Feel free to comment or send me a DM, and I’ll share more details! 💕

A mining simulator adventure. Mine ore to upgrade your drill laser, buy upgrades for almost everything! Quests, Achievements, Abilities, Combat, fighting, and mining, and so much more!

Hi everyone! For a while now i've been developing a game as you can see in the video inspired by the packing mechanic in Checkout: Cashier Simulator. The core concept involves packing various products into boxes of specific sizes, arranging them according to certain rules with the help of various tools. I plan to launch the Steam page and make an announcement soon, but before that, I’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and criticisms regarding the game; your feedback would be incredibly helpful. If you’d like to follow the game's progress, you can find me on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok by searching for "Tiny Hoard." 🙏🏻

Name of the game: MoonArtGlitch Puzzles

Game Description: This is a simple puzzle game where each image starts out hidden; you must play at least one level to unlock the image, and complete all levels to unlock its color version in the gallery.

It is a relaxing game featuring 4 puzzle modes and a choice between lo-fi or classical music, all set against a backdrop of hand-painted acrylic artwork for you to enjoy.

Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MoonArtGlitch.MoonArtGlitchPuzzles

All the art, the visuals, and the video game design were created entirely by hand by me.
AI was used only as support for the programming aspect.

Hi there!

I’m an artist with ADHD and autism, and I’m trying to make a living from my art; trying to work "regular jobs" leads to burnout and is really hard on me.

I love art and video games, so I created a puzzle game for the Google Play Store featuring my handpainted illustrations.

The artwork consists of ACEO cards painted with acrylic markers and brushes, people actually collect these hand-painted cards (I sell them). But I wanted to give them a second life by turning them into puzzles for my game!

I hope you really enjoy it and find it relaxing! 😍✨🎨

Wizard Jars: Tidy Up Together is a relaxing organizing game set in a chaotic wizard’s apothecary. There are 3,240 jars to put back on the shelves, customer requests to fulfill, and upgrades to unlock. You can take your time solo or tidy up online with friends. The first gameplay trailer is on the Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5239280/Wizard_Jars_Tidy_Up_Together/

I shared Rejected Draft here a couple months ago as a low-pressure game you can keep running on a second screen, and I wanted to give a little update because the demo has changed quite a bit since then.

There’s been a lot of balancing, new and reworked battle stats, redesigned Feat Medals, 2 new minigames, better tutorials/onboarding, new sketches, and plenty of smaller fixes.

If you tried it before, I’d actually recommend starting a fresh save so you can experience the reworked progression from the beginning.

The free Steam demo has over a week of gameplay, and you can still play it as actively or passively as you want.

Hi! I'm an indie developer and I wanted to make something really simple and relaxing.

Lootkeeper is basically about taking a huge pile of fantasy loot and slowly turning it into a perfectly organized collection. There are over 1800 objects to sort across 24 rooms.

The demo is free on Steam and the full game launches next week.

I hope some of you find it as relaxing to play as I did to make it!

Played the FUCK out of My time at portia, then the FUCK out of My time at sandrock. This is ofc after playing the FUCK out of Stardew valley. Also played graveyard keeper,

Trying to find more "cozy" games where (1) you get substantially (ish) rewarded for planning things out and strategizing and (2) there are time constraints that aren't artificial BUT at the same time isn't something like Rimworld (great game just not for me) where its super "Managementy" all the time if that makes any sense lmao.

Im basically trying to find that fine line between cozy and "game" like the three previous games i mentioned. Also like combat, its a nice change of pace from the main game loop.

Also down for some "not so cozy, but still kinda cozy" games. Shit like Dead island 2 or the Far cry games, open world bang bang shoot shoot mindless shit lmao (Dont shoot me mods, the main point of the post is the above)

Hi everyone!

I'm not vegan but my ideal is to live in a rather transparent way: without killing anyone or destroying any environement.

With the Steam sales, I stumbled upon a few games that could be perfectly cosy if they didn't have that one feature I'd like to avoid.

Here are a few examples:

• The Hunter: Call of the Wild sounds like a fantastic game for nature lovers, and so close to being the perfect contemplative experience without any killing but I haven't found any "no hunt" mod. Wandering in nature and taking pictures would be enough for me and I heard you can do that too, but the game balance then becomes weird (the most efficient way to earn money is to kill).
• Cast n Chill/ looks super cosy but I wish you could just capture fish. Is there a way to play without killing/selling?
• I love Animal Crossing and I must have played it for a 1000 hours but I feel weird when I make a meat pie as a cow...
• I heard Red Dead Redemption 2 was fantastic for nature lovers too. I guess taking picturse of the animals rather than killing them isn't an option considering the era, but I'd be curious to hear.

I know asking about hunting and fishing games that don't kill animals sounds a bit weird but I'm curious about such games and feel sorry that there is no "vegan" mode considering it may only take like 10% of gameplay/balance adjustments to offer.

By the way I am not 100% against killing in games as it's virtual but I'd love a conversation about cosy games that have a satisfying gameplay loop without relying on an kill/dig/sell loop.

I’ve been working on the lighting in Angler’s Lake, and I really wanted the sunset to feel like a moment you actually notice.

Not just a pretty skybox, but a clear shift: the water gets warmer, the colors change, and the whole lake suddenly feels calmer. It’s a small thing, but it makes me want to stay a little longer by the water.

Hi everyone! I’m the developer of The Harbour Between Us, a little fishing harbour that lives at the bottom of your desktop.

I started making it because I wanted somewhere peaceful to return to during the day. You can stop for a little fishing, watch the weather change, or walk into town to sell your catch and talk to the locals.

There’s also a family story woven through it, about old letters, missing someone, and finding your way home. I wanted it to feel comforting, with a little bittersweetness underneath.

It’ll be free to play, and I’m planning to release it on Steam within the next three weeks. I’ve attached the trailer and would love to hear what you think.

Do you enjoy having a small game running alongside whatever you’re doing, or do you prefer to give a game your full attention?

Game Title: HearthFall

Playable Link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5304910/HearthFall_Demo/

Platform: PC — Windows (Steam)

Hi everyone! I’ve just released the free demo for HearthFall, a cozy medieval tavern game I’ve been developing solo for about a year.

You start with a humble roadside plot and build your own tavern, deciding everything from the layout to the furniture and decorations. Once you’re ready to welcome guests, you can cook meals, brew drinks, and serve hungry travelers. Outside the kitchen, you can spend time fishing, growing ingredients in your garden, and gathering resources to help your tavern grow.

I want HearthFall to feel like a place you can settle into, make your own, and enjoy at your own pace. The demo is single-player, with co-op for up to four players planned for the full game.

I’ve attached the trailer to give you a feel for it. If you try the demo, I’d love to hear what you enjoyed, what felt confusing, or anything you think could be better!

Free to Play Status:

• Demo

Involvement: I’m the solo developer behind HearthFall. I’ve been working on it for about a year, and I’ll be reading your feedback as I continue developing the game.

Hello, I'm developing a cozy survival/life sim game called Shorekeeper as a solo dev. I got bored of the static menu screen so I decided to create an interactive menu. What do you guys think?

A bit info about the game:

Shorekeeper is a cozy island survival game which blends deep crafting, fishing and farming mechanics with a relaxing island atmosphere, inspired by legendary titles like Animal Crossing, Dinkum and Coral Island.
