27 New Cozy Games Coming in March
– Two Point Museum –
I’ve been absolutely hooked on Two Point Museum since it dropped two days ago–finally, a game that lets me live out my dream of running a chaotic museum without the real-world consequences of getting fired!
After loving what Two Point Studios did with the Hospital and Campus, I had high expectations, and they’ve totally delivered. I spent my entire Tuesday night creating this ridiculous prehistoric section where visitors can literally watch dinosaur bones being cleaned while standing next to a mammoth exhibit. The way you can mix and match themes is addictive–i’ve got supernatural artifacts next to my science hall because why follow rules in my own museum?
The expedition feature is what’s really eating up my time. I keep sending my poor researchers to the most dangerous locations hoping they’ll bring back something wild for my displays. Half the fun is gambling on what they’ll discover, then figuring out the perfect spot to showcase it.
And don’t get me started on those partition walls! Such a small addition but it’s completely changed how I design spaces. I must have redesigned my aquatics section like five times just because I can now create these winding paths that force visitors to see every single fish tank.
The star scoring system is pure evil genius–I was perfectly happy with my three-star museum until the game dangled the possibility of more stars, and suddenly it’s 3 AM and I’m reorganizing my space exhibit for maximum visitor flow. Anyone else staying up way too late with this game, or is it just me?
– Carmen Sandiego –
I grew up with Carmen Sandiego games blowing my mind in computer class–nothing made geography cooler than chasing a mysterious woman in a red hat across continents! It’s wild how this series has stuck around since the 80’s, constantly reinventing itself from those old-school PC games to TV shows (who else remembers yelling “DO IT, ROCKAPELLA” at their TV?)
Gameloft dropped a new Carmen game this month that flips the script entirely. Instead of hunting her down, you actually play AS Carmen this time! It’s based on that Netflix cartoon where she’s actually the good guy working against V.I.L.E. (still can’t get over that acronym).
The best part? You can play it on literally anything–your Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, PC, even your phone. I downloaded it yesterday on my phone and was immediately solving puzzles in Morocco while learning about local architecture without even realizing it.
What makes Carmen games still work after all these decades is how they trick you into learning without feeling like homework. You’re too busy trying to crack the case to notice you’re suddenly an expert on world capitals and landmarks. It’s the perfect sweet spot of education that doesn’t feel educational–something my teachers tried and failed at for years!
Anyone else been playing it? I’m curious if it hits the same for people who didn’t grow up with the original games.
– Grimoire Groves –
Just released this week, Grimoire Groves puts you in the pointy hat of a witch on a heartfelt mission to breathe life back into the enchanted groves. As you explore, you’ll bond with the cutest little plant companions, master magical spells that feel genuinely satisfying to cast, and unravel the delightfully quirky mystery of the Rainbow Socks (trust me, it’s as fun as it sounds!).
What makes this game special is how each adventure feels fresh–the procedurally generated levels ensure you never know exactly what’s around the corner. Players are already falling in love with its gorgeous, storybook art style and the perfect balance between cozy vibes and roguelite challenge.
If you’ve been looking for a game that blends gardening, magic, and adventure into something that feels like a warm cup of tea for your gaming should, Grimoire Groves might just be your new obsession.
– Merchants of Rosewall –
Welcome to the captivating world of Merchants of Rosewall, the latest gem from Big Blue Sky games that’s already stealing hearts since its release just a few days ago!
This isn’t just another shop sim – it’s a vibrant slice of life in Rosewall, a fascinating city where swords stay sheathed and the real power lies in what you can create with your own two hands. As you step into the shoes of a newcomer with big dreams and an empty storefront, you’ll find yourself swept up in a community that feels genuinely alive.
The magic happens when you start building relationships with your quirky crew of Companions. From grumpy gnomes with golden crafting fingers to gentle giant orcs who surprise you with their delicate artistry, each character brings their own story and skills to your growing business family.
Your days in Rosewall unfold in a satisfying rhythm – mornings spent planning and crafting, afternoons filled with the bustle of eager customers, and evenings where you can wander the lamp-lit streets, uncovering secrets and forging friendships that run deeper than business partnerships.
Players are already raving about how the game’s beautiful art style perfectly compliments its surprisingly deep crafting systems, creating an experience that’s both cozy and compelling – the kind of game that has you saying “just one more day” until you realize the sun is coming up in the real world!
– Bao Bao’s Cozy Laundromat –
Picture this: a fluffy panda with a dream and a whole lot of laundry detergent! That’s the heart of Bao Bao’s Cozy Laundromat, the adorable new game hitting our screens March 6th from the creatively named Destroyer Doggo Studio (don’t let the fierce name fool you – their games are pure comfort).
In this charming little world, you’ll team up with Bao Bao, possibly the cutest business partner ever, to build the kind of laundromat that feels more like a second home than a chore destination. Thank washing machines in every color of the rainbow, comfy corners where customers actually want to wait for their spin cycles to finish, and a squad of panda assistants who somehow make folding laundry look like the most satisfying thing ever.
The beauty of this game? Your fluffy empire keeps earning while you’re away living your actual life – the very definition of work-life balance! When you do pop in, you can add your personal touches: maybe that vintage armchair you’ve always wanted, plants that never die (unlike their real-world counterparts), and snack machines that never run out of the good stuff.
All this wrapped in gentle lo-fi beats that make even virtual laundry day feel like a meditation session.
– Book Bound –
Picture yourself stepping into a world where the musty scent of old books meets magical possibility! Book Bound isn’t just another adventure game – it’s a love letter to anyone who’s ever gotten lost between the pages of a good story.
In this enchanting upcoming title, you’ll wander through a library where books aren’t just sitting quietly on shelves – they’re bubbling with magic, their stories spilling out into reality. As you work to restore order to this literary chaos, you’ll solve puzzles that feel satisfying rather than frustrating, each one unlocking another chapter in this world’s delightful mystery.
The hand-drawn art style makes every corner feel like it was sketched with care and affection, while the gentle soundtrack wraps around you like your favorite blanket on a rainy day. What really brings this world to life, though, are the characters – from talking bookmarks to literary heroes who’ve wandered off their pages, each one has stories and personalities that’ll make you smile.
Book Bound promises to be the perfect game for curling up in your favorite reading nook, controller in hand, ready to remember why we all fell in love with stories in the first place.
– Sims 4: Businesses & Hobbies Expansion –
Step into The Sims 4: Businesses & Hobbies, the brand-new expansion pack that’s about to breathe fresh life into your virtual world! This eighteenth addition to the beloved franchise isn’t just another update – it’s a doorway to the charming town of Nordhaven, where creativity and entrepreneurship blend together in the most delightful ways.
Picture your Sims discovering new passions that speak to their souls – like crafting the perfect pottery piece that starts as a lump of clay and transforms under their fingers, or becoming the neighborhood’s go-to tattoo artist, carefully inking designs that tell stories on virtual skin.
The real magic happens when these heartfelt hobbies blossom into thriving businesses. Maybe you Sim turns their living room into a cozy tattoo studio where neighbors drop by for new ink, or perhaps they claim a quaint storefront in town where their handcrafted pottery flies off the shelves.
The expansion introduces the clever Ticket Kiosk system, though it seems there’s more to learn about this feature that lets your Sims manage their budding enterprises with style.
Whether you’re a longtime Sims enthusiast or just looking for new ways to tell stories in this sandbox world, Businesses & Hobbies promises to add that perfect blend of creativity and purpose that makes The Sims feel like coming home.
– Wyrmhall: Brush & Banter –
Meet WYRMHALL: Brush and Banter, the little gem from Leafy Games that puts you in the most unlikely hero role ever: a goblin with a cleaning cloth! This adorable comedy game is all about scrubbing magical knick-knacks while uncovering their hilarious secrets.
Imagine polishing an enchanted teacup that gossips about its previous owners, or dusting a cursed skull that has strong opinions about your cleaning technique. Each treasure in your care has its own personality and story to tell, making what could be mundane chores into delightful little adventures.
What makes this game even more heartwarming is its origin story – born as a humble game jam project in December 2023, the developers fell so in love with their little goblin cleaner that they couldn’t bear to stop there. They’ve spent over a year nurturing this quirky concept into something special.
Perfect for those evenings when you want a complete gaming experience without committing to a 100-hour epic, WYRMHALL can be enjoyed in just an hour or two, with multiple endings that reward your curiosity. The interface couldn’t be simpler (just point and click!), while the custom soundtrack wraps you in cozy vibes that perfectly match the game’s charming world.
– Sugardew Island –
Imagine escaping to your own little slice of paradise where the only deadlines are the changing seasons and your biggest worry is whether your chickens are happy! That’s the magic of Sugardew Island, the latest heart-stealer from rokaplay that captures everything we loved about Harvest Moon while adding its own special sunshine.
This isn’t just another farming game – it’s a vacation for your soul where you’ll find yourself smiling as you tend to your growing crops, befriend curious animals, and transform your humble farm shop into the island’s favorite gathering spot. The game gently invites you to play at your own pace, perfect for those precious 30-minute gaming moments between life’s demands or those lazy Sunday afternoons when you just want to lose yourself in something wholesome.
The islanders themselves might be the real treasure here – each with personalities that unfold like flowers as you get to know them, turning what could be simple pixel characters into neighbors you genuinely look forward to seeing each morning.
Whether you’re planting your virtual seeds on PC, getting cozy with your PS5, snuggling up with your Switch, or relaxing with your Xbox, Sugardew Island offers that rare gaming experience that doesn’t pump your veins with adrenaline but instead fills your heart with the quiet joy of watching something grow because of your care.
– Wanderstop –
Get ready to find a little piece of peace with Wanderstop, a soul-warming game coming our way next week from the creative minds at Ivy Road and the always-thoughtful publishers at Annapurna Interactive.
This isn’t just another cozy game – it’s a heartfelt journey crafted by Davey Wreden, whose previous works like The Stanley Parable showed us how games can be both playful and profound. In Wanderstop, you’ll step into the boots of Alta, a battle-weary champion fighter who trades her sword for a teapot, seeking solace among the whispers of the forest.
Working alongside the sunshine-in-human-form character Boro in his woodland tea shop, you’ll discover the gentle rhythm of growing and brewing – planting seeds in honeycomb-like gardens and watching them bloom into perfect ingredients for teas that warm more than just hands.
What makes Wanderstop feel special is how it doesn’t shy away from the harder truths hidden beneath its beautiful surface. This is a game about finding healing when you’ve been broken, about rediscovering yourself when you’ve been lost, all wrapped in visuals that dance between impressionist brushstrokes and Art Nouveau elegance.
– Call of Boba –
Imagine stepping into the shoes of a struggling boba tea shop owner, where your days are filled with more than just brewing drinks. In the upcoming game Call of Boba, you’ll find yourself balancing the art of crafting the perfect milk tea by day while fending off mysterious creatures by night – all for the sake of inspiration!
This charming pixel art adventure from indie developer Tomatoast blends cozy shop management with unexpected roguelike elements. You’ll grow your own exotic ingredients, perfect secret recipes, and slowly bring life back to your little corner of a vibrant town filled with colorful characters.
Between serving customers and battling for new recipe ideas, you can take breaks to fish in nearby waters, participate in local festivities, or even find yourself caught up in budding romances with the townsfolk.
Mark your calendar for March 11, 2025, when Call of Boba hits Steam Early Access – it might just be the perfect blend of relaxing gameplay and quirky adventure you’ve been craving.
– Expelled! –
When Verity Amersham’s scholarship to the prestigious Miss Mulligatawney’s School for Promising Girls suddenly hangs by a thread, you’ll find yourself racing against the clock in Expelled! – a new game from the storytelling wizards at Inkle.
It’s 1922 England, and you’ve somehow ended up as the prime suspect in an attempted murder of a school prefect. With just 24 hours before judgement falls, you’ll need to untangle a web of boarding school politics, hidden motives, and upper-class secrets. Will you fight to prove your innocence, or is framing someone else the only way to save your future?
Every conversation and decision shapes your relationships with the cast of characters brought to life by Amelia Tyler (whose voice you might recognize from Baldur’s Gate 3). Like Inkle’s previous gem Overboard!, this detective tale lets you choose your own moral compass – perhaps being “promising” and being “good” aren’t quite the same thing at Miss Mulligatawney’s.
– Dungeons of Hinterberg –
Imagine escaping your law textbooks for what you think will be a peaceful getaway in a quaint Austrian village, only to discover it’s become the world’s hottest destination for magical dungeon tourism! That’s the delightful premise of Dungeons of Hinterberg, where you step into the hiking boots of Luisa, a burned-out law student whose vacation plans take an unexpected turn.
By day, you’ll find yourself chatting with quirky locals and fellow travelers over cups of steaming coffee in cozy Alpine cafes. By night, you’ll be swinging magical weapons at strange creatures in over 25 mystical dungeons hidden throughout the breathtaking Austrian countryside.
After winning hearts on Windows and Xbox since last summer, Microbird Games’ charming adventure is finally making its way to PlayStation 5 on March 13, 2025. It’s that perfect blend of pulse-quickening dungeon crawls and heartwarming village life that feels like someone combined your favorite fantasy novel with that European vacation you’ve been dreaming about.
– On Your Tail –
Picture yourself wandering through a sun-drenched Italian coastal village, notebook in hand, as a plucky goat detective with a nose for trouble. That’s the charm of On Your Tail, the upcoming game from Italian indie creators Memorable Games.
You’ll play as Diana Caproni, a writer with horns and determination, who’s busy poking her snout into the mysteries bubbling beneath the surface of beautiful Borgo Marina. The game blends thoughtful detective work with the laid-back rhythm of coastal living.
When you’re not interrogating locals or piecing together clues through card-based puzzles, you’re free to soak up village life—cooking up Italian dishes, casting a line off the pier, lounging on the beach, hitting the local arcade, or simply gazing at the stars.
On Your Tail first made its way to PC players last December, but Nintendo Switch owners can look forward to solving mysteries on the go when it arrives on March 13. It’s perfect for anyone who wants their detective work served with a side of cappuccino and sea breeze.
– My Sims: Cozy Bundle –
Remember building little towns filled with those big-headed characters with even bigger personalities? MySims: Cozy Bundle is bringing back that warm fuzzy feeling, packaging two fan favorites that let you play architect to quirky virtual communities who desperately need your help.
The bundle, which first landed on Nintendo Switch last November, is finally making its way to PC via Steam and Epic on March 18th, letting a whole new generation of players (and nostalgic adults) experience the magic.
In the original MySims, you’re basically the hero a rundown town has been waiting for. You’ll design homes from the ground up, craft furniture that reflects your personal style, and slowly watch as your once-empty streets fill with eccentric residents who each bring their own flavor to the neighborhood.
MySims Kingdom takes everything up a notch, dropping you into a storybook world where you’re tasked with breathing life back into a kingdom that’s seen better days. You’ll hop between themed islands, solving the unique problems of royals and commoners alike with your trusty building tools.
Both games come with a fresh coat of paint that respects the charming, chunky aesthetic of the originals while making them shine on modern screens. Perfect for when you need a low-pressure creative escape where the biggest crisis is deciding what color to paint someone’s roof.
– Escape From Mystwood Mansion –
Ever found yourself lost in a creepy old house, heart pounding as you frantically search for a way out? Escape From Mystwood Mansion captures that delicious panic in digital form.
This first-person adventure from the indie team at Lost Sock Studio drops you right into the kind of place that definitely has more than a few skeletons in its closets. After making waves on PC back in fall 2023, it’s now heading to Nintendo Switch on March 19th, perfect for solving puzzles under the covers when you should be sleeping.
As you wander through dusty corridors and abandoned rooms, you’ll piece together the mansion’s secrets by cracking codes, hunting for hidden objects, and solving brain-benders that would make your high school math teacher proud. Each new room brings that satisfying “aha!” moment when a puzzle finally clicks.
Players and critics have been nodding in approval at how the game nails that real-world escape room tension without the awkwardness of fighting strangers for clues or paying $30 for hints. Now Switch owners can join in the mystery-solving fun, tackling the mansion’s secrets whether they’re commuting to work or pretending to listen during family dinner.
– Mudborne –
Imagine waking up from a long winter’s nap only to find your cozy pond completely deserted. That’s the muddy predicament at the heart of Mudborne, the charming new game from indie developer TNgineers that’s hopping onto screens on March 20th—fittingly, the same day frog enthusiasts celebrate World Frog Day.
This isn’t your typical management sim. Instead of building cities or running farms, you’re playing matchmaker for amphibians, tinkering with frog genetics to create new species and breathe life back into your abandoned wetland home. You’ll split your time between crafting, managing resources, and solving puzzles that gradually reveal why your once-thriving community has disappeared.
What makes Mudborne truly unique is how it blurs the line between reality and dreams. As you discover and crossbreed different frogs, you’ll unlock new areas to explore—some in the waking world of mud and lily pads, others in a dreamlike alternate reality where the rules of nature bend in unexpected ways.
Curious frog fanatics can already get their feet wet with a free demo available on itch.io and Steam, offering a taste of the pond-rebuilding adventure before the full game splashes down next month.
– Spirit City: Cozy Kitchen DLC –
Get ready to add a dash of culinary comfort to your digital chill-out sessions! Spirit City: Lofi Sessions is cooking up something new with its Cozy Kitchen DLC, landing on March 26th.
This homey add-on turns up the cozy factor by letting you putter around your very own kitchen space. Instead of just vibing to beats, you’ll now be able to pack lunches, pull fresh cookies from the oven, and yes, even find zen in the simple rhythm of washing dishes after a meal.
The kitchen brings new friends too – including Capybun, an adorably loaf-shaped capybara who looks like they just rolled out of the oven themselves, and Squire Sprout, a vegetable with knightly aspirations who adds a touch of whimsy to your culinary adventures.
Decoration enthusiasts will love personalizing every inch of their kitchen sanctuary – from picking the perfect countertops and backsplashes to arranging a breakfast nook that practically begs you to settle in with a virtual cup of tea.
And because it’s still Spirit City at heart, the expanded soundscape wraps everything in those signature lofi beats, now mixed with gentle kitchen sounds that might actually make you look forward to meal prep. Perfect for when real-life cooking feels like too much work, but you still crave that kitchen comfort.
– The Beekeeper’s Picnic –
Imagine Sherlock Holmes hanging up his detective hat, slipping into some beekeeping gear, and settling into a sleepy countryside village. That’s the delightful premise of The Beekeeper’s Picnic, a game that feels like finding a worn paperback novel at your grandparents’ house on a rainy day.
Set in a sun-dappled Sussex village during the roaring ’20s, you’ll guide an aging Holmes as he tries to pull off one simple task: arranging a surprise picnic on the cliffs for his lifelong friend Watson. But of course, nothing’s ever simple when you’re Sherlock Holmes, even in retirement.
As you wander through the honey-colored stone cottages and village shops, you’ll bump into locals with problems that somehow always land in your lap. Each character comes alive with full voice acting and the kind of quirky personalities you’d expect in a village where everyone knows everyone’s business.
The game doesn’t rush you—it invites you to poke around, chat with shopkeepers, and solve little mysteries at your own pace. And unlike Holmes’ more famous cases, these puzzles don’t have just one correct solution. Sometimes the most creative approach is the most rewarding.
With its lovingly crafted pixel art that feels like a moving postcard from the past and a gentle soundtrack that might have you brewing a cup of tea while you play, The Beekeeper’s Picnic offers a few cozy evenings of escape to a simpler time.
– Galactic Getaway –
Picture this: you and your friends, building vacation homes on distant planets where the neighbors might have three eyes and the local wildlife glows in the dark. That’s Galactic Getaway in a nutshell.
This upcoming game comes from the folks at Akrew (yeah, the same team behind Nookazon, that lifesaver marketplace for Animal Crossing players). They’ve basically taken what we love about chill village life and launched it into orbit, with a sprinkle of Mario Party chaos for good measure.
Instead of paying off a mortgage to a raccoon, you’ll be terraforming alien landscapes and decorating your space cabin just the way you like it. When you’re not picking out cosmic curtains or planting whatever passes for flowers in outer space, you can challenge your friends to a round of zero-gravity laser tag or race spaceships through asteroid fields.
The whole point isn’t to “win” anything – it’s about hanging out with your buddies and gradually building your dream getaway spot somewhere between Saturn and that weird pulsar that makes everything taste like blueberries. Perfect for when Earth-bound vacation spots just aren’t cutting it anymore.
– inZOI –
Ever wished you could live a whole different life where you look perfect, never worry about real bills, and your biggest drama is who to invite to your rooftop party? inZOI is about to scratch that itch when it hits early access on March 28th.
This is the new kid on the life sim block, coming from inZOI Studio with Krafton (the PUBG folks) backing them up. PC players get first dibs, while PlayStation and Xbox users will need to wait a bit longer before they can join the alternate-life party.
What sets inZOI apart is just how gorgeous it looks—they’ve gone all-in with Unreal Engine 5, so your virtual self and their dream apartment will look almost eerily real. The game lets you bounce between worlds based on Seoul and LA, giving you that “international jet-setter” vibe without the jet lag.
Beyond just making pretty characters and houses, there’s a clever “Canvas” feature that makes creating and sharing mods surprisingly simple, even for non-tech-savvy players.
While inZOI is clearly gunning for The Sims’ crown with its shiny new tech, early looks suggest it’s still finding its feet when it comes to making all those pretty pieces feel like a cohesive, story-rich world. But hey, that’s what early access is for—giving us a taste while they work out the kinks.
– So To Speak –
Ever found yourself in a foreign country, desperately trying to figure out if that sign means “bathroom” or “staff only”? So to Speak turns that mix of confusion and discovery into a game you’ll actually want to play.
Instead of drilling you with flashcards, this clever puzzle game drops you into a colorful 2D Japan where you’re basically a tourist with no phrasebook. You’ll wander through streets, parks, and shops, gradually making sense of the language around you through pure context and observation.
Maybe you’ll notice that same squiggly character on both a clock and someone talking about meeting for lunch. Or you’ll see a word on a sign next to a tree that keeps popping up whenever you’re in a park. Before you know it, your brain is making connections without the painful memorization.
The game packs in over 300 Japanese words covering all the essentials a traveler might need – from asking directions to ordering food to figuring out what time the train leaves.
It’s the brainchild of Erik Andersen, who spent years as an academic researcher studying how games can teach us stuff without feeling like homework. So to Speak arrives on PC, Mac, and Linux on March 31st, but if you’re curious, there’s already a demo on Steam that lets you dip your toes into the linguistic deep end.
– Fields of Mistria: 2nd Major Update –
Better get your farming gloves ready – Fields of Mistria is about to get a whole lot bigger on March 10th!
The game’s second major update introduces a fresh face to your morning routines with Caldarus, a new villager who’ll shake up the social web you’ve been weaving. And speaking of social life, the village gossip Elsie is finally putting her nosy nature to good use – chat her up and she’ll spill the tea on what gifts will make your friends’ faces light up.
For adventurers tired of the same old scenery, there’s plenty to explore. Crack the Fire Seal Quest to unlock a brand new mines biome where strange creatures and magical spells await. The mysterious Deep Woods are finally opening their paths too, perfect for those who’ve mapped every inch of the current world.
Veterans who’ve maxed out their Renown levels can breathe easy – the cap’s being raised by 20 levels, with new requests popping up on the community board to help you climb that ladder.
And don’t forget to mark your calendars for the Animal Festival, a celebration of all the critters that make Mistria special. Whether you’re a longtime resident or just setting up your first farm, this update adds those cozy little details that make Fields of Mistria feel like a second home.
– Split Fiction –
Just imagine: you and your best friend somehow getting sucked into the wildest stories your minds could create – that’s Split Fiction in a nutshell.
Released just yesterday on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, this game comes from the creative minds at Hazelight Studios and the slightly mad genius of Josef Fares (yep, the same guy who told the Oscars what they could do with themselves at The Game Awards).
The story follows Mio and Zoe, two writers who find themselves trapped inside their own imaginations after messing with a machine that was supposed to “borrow” creative ideas. Now they’re stuck bouncing between sci-fi laser battles and fantasy dragon flights, with only each other to rely on.
What makes Split Fiction special is how it forces you and your playing partner to actually work together – no solo hero moments allowed. One minute you’re solving physics puzzles in a futuristic cityscape, the next you’re casting spells in an enchanted forest, all while your screens show completely different perspectives of the same wild adventure.
Building on what made It Takes Two a hit, Hazelight has created another couch co-op masterpiece that critics are already putting on their Game of the Year shortlists. Perfect for those friendship-testing gaming sessions where shouting “No, YOUR left!” somehow brings people closer together.
– Myrmidon –
Picture an old animator hunched over his workbench, bringing a little wooden puppet to life – then imagine that puppet grabbing his creator by the hand and pulling him into a storybook world they need to navigate together. That’s the magic behind Myrmidon.
This charming co-op game from the newly formed Studio Popote in France looks like a stop-motion film come to life, where you and a friend must work as an odd couple – one playing the puppet-master, the other as his wooden creation. Each character brings different abilities to the table as you hop, climb, and puzzle-solve your way through a handcrafted world.
Just a heads-up though – you’ll both need your own internet connections to play, and the game doesn’t come with built-in chat. So grab your Discord or whatever you kids are using these days to coordinate your moves, unless you enjoy the chaotic fun of trying to solve puzzles through interpretive jumping.
Studio Popote itself is barely a year old, founded by Rémi Leroy and a crew of game design students who banded together to create something that pushes the boundaries of visual storytelling. While they haven’t pinned down exactly when we’ll get to play Myrmidon, you can wishlist it on Steam now to make sure you don’t miss this quirky little adventure when it finally arrives.
– Kitten Food Alley –
Have you heard about this adorable new game coming out? It’s called Kitten Food Alley, and I can’t wait to try it! It’s this cute management sim where you run food shops with cats as your employees. Yes, actual cats! You get to open different restaurants, tweak recipes, and the best part? You make food by petting the cats who work for you!
As you play more, you unlock ways to automate the petting (because even virtual cat petting can get tiring on your clicking finger). It looks like the perfect game to unwind with after a long day—who doesn’t want to hang out with cats while building a little food empire?
There’s a demo on Steam right now that gives you a taste of the gameplay and lets you try out two levels. It’s short—about 20 to 50 minutes—but enough to see if it’s your kind of game. The full version doesn’t have a release date yet, but cozy game fans are already pretty excited about it. The studio behind it is called NOTISNOT STUDIO, by the way.
