hi everyone!
I've been working on a golf game mostly inspired by Rimworld (in terms of NPC depth/interaction) and Mini Motorways (in terms of cleanliness of UI/game elements, not quite there yet, but it's my goal!) with the main gameplay being restoring the family golf club. i've built around the idea of 'there's no doing wrong', in that you can go about the restoration any way you want, there are no real fail states, and you can play as passively or actively as you want.
i'd love any feedback, if anyone wouldn't mind sharing! I've worked on this for the better part of 2 years by myself and this is my first trailer so yeah, I'd love to hear anything at all. if you'd like to check it out on Steam, the name is Fairwell.
Hellooo π
We are happy to share that our demo is finally out!π Bottled by Bears is a cozy management game about a family of bears running their honey farm. Total playtime should bee (heh) around 30min.
If you gave the demo a try, let us know what you think!

Hello! I made Starglyphs, a puzzle game where you follow a guide and trace its paths through a constellation without retracing a line.
The puzzles are generated to be always solvable. When you finish one, the constellation turns into a very pretty nebula! It's meant to be a genuinely chill, relaxing experience - at least for me it is!
There is also a Daily Glyph, and completed constellations go into an Atlas where you can name them and revisit them later or use Photo Mode to save them.
You can try the free web version here: https://starglyphs.com
And wishlist on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4879810/Starglyphs/
Keys are gone! Have a great week! :)

Hello everybody!
I have several keys left over from bundles.
I either already own them or am not interested in them, so I decided to spread some joy here.
I can obviously not guarantee that every key works. I have never used them, but some of them have been unused for years. However, I already gave 4 games to friends, and those keys worked.
I will wait for about 30 hours (I am in Europe, so until Sunday evening) before choosing the winners randomly.
Please state which game you want.
- A Little to the Left
- Cozy Caravan
- Make Room
- Polterguys
- Spirit City
- Stuffed
- Heaven Will Be Mine
- The World Next Door
- Lakeburg Legacies
Have a good weekend! βΊοΈ
I made a cozy little game about bringing a dead garden back to life
You warm the soil tile by tile and watch life spread out on its own. Seasons come and go, the garden changes but keeps the memory of what grew before, and eventually you get little helpers who tend the place for you. Mostly I just wanted it to feel warm and satisfying to poke at.
I wrote a tier list of terrarium games with short reviews.
Any other games like these you love that aren't on the list yet?
I think this might be the last time I share my little farming game before it releases. π₯Ή
You start with just a tiny patch of land, a few crops and almost nothing to your nameβ¦ and eventually your farm can become this absolute chaos. π
You grow crops, raise cute animals, react to changing market prices, complete little quests and slowly feed more and more people as your village grows.
Iβve spent the last two years making it on my own, and it feels very strange to say this, but Farmers Market is finally finished and ready to launch. π±β€οΈ
Iβm doing one last little push before release, so if cozy farming games are your thing, Iβd genuinely love to have you along for launch.

Thank you to everyone who has followed along or given me feedback while Iβve been making it. I canβt quite believe Iβve reached this point. π₯Ή
So I first played Dorf when it was very early in development and I didn't really think much of it at all and didn't even consider buying it on release, but it popped up in my browsing now and then and lately I've considered giving it a shot. Then it just so happened that recently I've been trying to find a sort of "forever" cozy game. I enjoy the regular fair our Stardews & Wanderstops and Sandrocks etc., but even if playtimes vary they do come to an end and you have to buy a new one and I thought it would be great to have something that you can make last a really long time.
So anyway I gave it a shot and while I haven't played that much yet, it's great. It's really relaxing - the controller support works great and even when maps expand quite a bit never do I feel like I'm supposed to be playing this with M&K. I'm like absolutely not a sandbox/creative mode type of player, but the experience is really easy to understand in a easy to pick up hard to master sense, but even being not great at it, it's an enjoyable relaxing experience and I'm not gonna lie it's nice seeing that I'm getting bigger high scores at the end. On the other hand I'm absolutely able to play it casually, I can play a few rounds to relax and then quit it to play something else, an experience I was unable to do with Balatro for instance, which took over my life until I had to uninstall it for my mental health.
Anyway, if any of you have been thinking about or not been thinking about it, I recommend it.
I have loved playing Stardew Valley or My Time at Portia and My time at Sandrock. I LOVE quests in my cozy games as I just love to have things to do and feel like I'm making progress continually :-)
Are there any cozy games youβve played that give you that same feeling of always having something meaningful to do while just having fun exploring? :-)
Hey, all.
Teacher here. I was so excited to launch Niffelheim day one of summer and βdisappearβ into the game for a few days, as my family says.
I saw it on Steam on sale but to put away my computer (too tied to work) I bought it on Switch.
I was looking forward to the vibesβVikings, whatβs not to love!βand the blend of crafting with combat. Iβm not great at combat. I want to get better so the blend helps me not feel like such a looser when I die over and over.
Anyhow, itβs sooooooooo slow. Heavens. I cleared everything off my Switch but each transition from one location or room took 10+ seconds to load. And thereβs no dash button so when you need to rejuvenate hearts by sitting in a throne, you had to walk to the very end of the room which is just a slog.
My frustration outweighed my enjoyment. $20 lost. Deleted the game.
I switched to Plus Ultra: Legado. As I said, Iβm horrible at combat. I just die over and over and the necessary pogo mechanic is too clunky. Itβs beautiful but I just end up throwing the controller.
The last three summers I lost myself in Graveyard Keeper, Spiritfarer, Stardew Valley, and Zelda BOTW.
Suggestions?
Looking for something new, and I saw this on the Steam sale. Has anyone played? It's very pretty. I am currently playing Tales of Seikyu, and have enjoyed the My Time series, Coral Island, and Starsand Island. Didn't care for Critter Cove or Garden Paws.
I play on PC.
Thank you, everyone, for your comments. I bought it and it's installing now :)
Hi. Iβm playing or have played the following games recently:
What else should I get based on this list? Thank you in advance!
*I have Stardew Valley and Graveyard Keeper and will start one of them soon!!!

Hi all,
We recently started playing Paleo Pines (steam) and have been absolutely loving it.
The same goes for the Nintendo game Horse Tales: emerald valley ranch.
We would love to play more similar games to those two and were hoping for sugestions and reccomendations π
Add: it doesn't have to involve horses or dinosaurs
We're making a game called Stamperor!, and I'm asking myself if it can be seen as a cozy game
Hey everyone!
Is there a cozy game you've played recently you'd really like to recommend? How did you learn about it? What do you like about it?
As usual, the best cozy game will be picked and stickied to highlight in this sub-reddit! The goal is for us all to discover new cute, fun, and relaxing games to play.
For details about this weekly post format, see this post.
Fields of Aaru, https://store.steampowered.com/app/4410710/Fields_of_Aaru/, is a cozy life sim where you farm by the Nile and explore the ancient Egyptian afterlife.
Many people have requested improved controller support, and we've recently added proper controller navigation across all the UI interfaces, along with controller prompts for all input actions, so it should be a much smoother experience overall. Please let us know how it feels, and if anything is confusing, unexpected, or needs improving!
In addition to the major controller update, we've also been hard at work improving the game: the next planned update will focus on base-building and sandbox creativity: irrigation, full terrain modification, and more ways to modify the world: create large farming areas using irrigation, build out bases in the desert, etc. You will even be able to place down soil to gradually change the ground itself, like turning sand into dirt or dirt into grass.
One of our biggest inspirations is Dinkum. We really like how it combines exploration, crafting, NPCs, and progression with a lot of freedom to build and decorate. We want to take that style of game a step further with more involved dialogue, NPC questlines, etc.
I know some people prefer more linear / quest-focused games and aren't super into sandbox systems, and that's totally OK too. If you prefer to focus on the main quests, NPCs, crafting, etc. without doing as much base-building, terrain modification, irrigation, or decorating, that's a perfectly valid way to play the game too. We don't try to force a single way to play the game on anyone, and there are no time limits or anything like that!
Let me know if you have any questions, feedback, etc.
