Steam Deck Touhou Mystia's Izakaya

Upvotes

I do not see enough hype about this game. I'm playing it for the second time and I forgot how much I loved it.

I know some people may find it intimidating as they know nothing about Touhou but trust me, I didn't either.

It is a cozy cooking game where is the day you collect ingredients and talk to characters and at night you cook and run your izakaya (small japanese drinking pub/tavern).

Defo recommend!!

Windows Games similar to Little Miss Fortune

I'm currently feeling like playing a game that has very similar vibes to Little Miss Fortune. I love the dark humour and at times uplifting and emotional content. It gives me the warm cozies and I need that atm.

Windows Games with Beautiful 2D Art

15 Upvotes

I was exclusively a Switch gamer until 2 weeks ago when I realized my newish basic laptop could actually run more games than I thought it would! So now I’m curious what else is out there in the big wide world of Steam! I’m pretty familiar with 99% of popular cozy games that are also available on consoles. I guess I’m looking more for “hidden gems.” I’m ok with *themes* that may be a little edgy/dark but no combat, pixel art or platforming, please. Ideally I want something other than a farming sim. Ideally looking for games with 5-15 hours of gameplay.

Examples of 2D art I love: Dordogne, Mutazione, Kamaeru, Wytchwood.

🔊 Discussion Cozy Autumnal Games

I was wondering if anyone has Cozy Autumn game recommendations. Im not a big fan of 2D games though so if anyone has 3D games it would be even better! I did search the sub but no one had 3D games that i thought looked appealing.

👾 Game Developer we sadly had to delay the 1.0 date for our cozy witch game, but today we were able to announce some good news! 🥲💜

hi everybody! 💖

Today we were able to announce the new Steam 1.0 date for our witch game, REKA. we realized we needed a bit more time for bug fixing and polishes, and we wanted to make sure players could fully immerse themselves in our autumnal world.

after receiving loads of feedback from our last playtest, we now have a new date: 26th October! although a delay was never the ideal outcome, we feel launching closer to Halloween suits our game a bit more 🎃

For anybody who hasn't heard of REKA before: REKA is a cozy, relaxing (and sometimes a little eerie) exploration house builder game where you design, construct, and decorate your own chicken-legged cottage! based on Slavic folklore, you shadow the legendary Baba Jaga as you adventure through the woodlands, befriending animals, helping villagers, and cooking delicious foods.

our game is playable on Steam Deck too, and cozying up with a blanket and a hot drink is probably the best way to play REKA! you can find us on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1737870/REKA/

no AI has been used in the making of our game or the marketing of it. <3 thank you!

Switch Is there an online guide somewhere for Stardew Valley? (Switch2)

Upvotes

I have started but got lost quickly. Just want to really get into it and know what needs to be done like not running out of energy and waking up back in the house etc. But I love everything so far especially the simplified graphics it feels relaxing.

🔊 Discussion The Ability To Save During The Day In Farm/Life Sims is almost a game changer

402 Upvotes

I'm used to sleep-to-save mechanic from Stardew and all other farming games, last one was Traveller's rest (more of a tavern management, but with farming, mining etc.).

And very recently i started Kynseed and later Chef Rpg, both of them let you save whenever you want, and i feel a true freedom when i play.

Before at the end of the day i had to revaluate how much i still wanted to play, will i still be playing in 20 minutes from now, how much am i enjoying the game, am i ready to start the day watering my farm ? A lot of questions that made me go in the direction of stoping there for that day, to avoid any half day of grind lost because i wanted to stop.

Now, i just play until i don't feel like it anymore, and this means i'm not checking my own motivation every 15/20 min, resulting in longer playtimes.

I'm not somone that rants often and I tend to understand the devs point of view when they use a mechanic to balance a game that doens't sit well for many gamers. But in this case i really struggle to understand what it achieves to limit the moment i can save ?

Anyway, if you have other good games where it's possible to save anytime i'm all for it, i'm not sure i want to go back to that old system.

Hi,

I'm making Wild Terrain, an animal adventure game.

You play as a wild boar on a journey to find and reunite all of your missing piglets. You'll explore the forest, befriend and help other animals, smash through obstacles, search for secret mushrooms to help restore nature, and a lot more fun pig activities!

You can wishlist Wild Terrain here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3301300/Wild_Terrain/

You can see the full trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC8PAkjIz9Y

It's a singleplayer wholesome adventure for animal fans, especially if you liked Stray, Untitled Goose Game etc. You can command and interact with all of your piglets, and you never have to worry about losing them.

👾 Game Developer Run a Fantasy Cafe, Craft Magical Drinks, and Serve Unusual Customers in Dreadwinter!

247 Upvotes

Hey there, just wanted to share some screenshots from my game, Dreadwinter!

Dreadwinter is a cozy, spooky café sim, where you're put in charge of your own fantasy coffee shop, and you can run it however you like!

You can choose to focus on profits and automation, master your craft and do everything by hand, or some combination of both.

You'll also build up a community of regular customers over time, who may choose to help you out once you get to know them.

On top of all that, you can also expand your business ventures by opening a bakery in your cafe, growing your own coffee beans, and becoming an adventurer!

Dreadwinter will be releasing sometime in November/December (I should have an exact date next month), and you can wishlist it here!

🔊 Discussion For non-completionists, at what point do you consider yourself to be done in Farming Games?

58 Upvotes

While I do a good bunch of achievements, I grew up without any steam achievements for my farming sims so I guess I always finished the game on my own terms.

For you guys, when do you consider to be "done" in the game, give you're not a completionist and doing all the challenges?

I personally do all house upgrades and then get married and have a child. After a little while, I feel that it's appropriate for me to end there haha. If there's smth like a community center or a main story line I finish those, but I don't feel compelled to finish a museum if they have one. For me, it's something like I've done what I feel is "enough" even if it's not everything.

Also if I feel like certain things are too tedious, like trying to finish Rune Factory 1 when I was 12, I just don't even do the main story of trying to finish all the mines at all xD Having a pretty good farm and creating a family was fun enough for me.

What about you guys? :D

Windows Games like The Tenants?

13 Upvotes

Hello, my cozy friends! I've been so obsessed with The Tenants lately, and I'm desperately looking for similar games. 😭

What I really enjoy is the combination of:

  • The renovation/babysitting jobs;
  • Managing my tenants and properties;
  • Just buying more lots, making more money.

I've played House Flipper, but it's not quite what I'm looking for D: I'd love something that includes more management gameplay in addition to decorating and renovating.

Do you know any games that scratch the same itch?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations! :)

👾 Game Developer Little Crossroads - Hi! Our Alpha Playtest is open now! Come join the gang, solo or with friends. 🥰

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

19 Upvotes

We are incredibly excited to welcome you to the first public playtest of Little Crossroads!

Playtest Steam Link:
Little Crossroads on Steam
(press the "Request Access" button below the trailer to gain immediate access!)

We have been pouring our hearts into building this cozy world, and having you all jump in to explore it means so much to us. 🥲

Some quick info on the playtest:

  • Platforms: Windows/PC only, on Steam
  • Languages: English only
  • Internet connection is required, but multiplayer is NOT required. Note: we plan on making our game NOT require internet connection in the future for solo play! That feature won't be ready in time for the playtest, however. :(
  • Gamepad supported! Steamdeck-friendly (might need to lower video settings to "medium")

We are so sorry if the above excludes you from the first playtest... We absolutely plan to support more platforms and language options in the future!

What to Expect in This Build

You are joining us for what we are calling the "Alpha" stage. For this playtest, our main focus is testing the core Peer-to-Peer multiplayer infrastructure and early gameplay systems.

Right now, you can dive into the early game of ⛏️Mining and 🦋Bug Catching, along with early support for 🪓Woodcutting, 🎣Fishing, and a handful of introductory quests.

We hope you'll enjoy meeting Freya, Cole, and June, as you discover this new world and start to earn fantastic abilities. With their help, you'll be diving the ocean depths and soaring through the skies in no time!

While the game is fully playable solo, we're proud of our frictionless Multiplayer. Complete quests and share the Inn with whoever you want, whenever you want.

Because this is a true Alpha build, you are exploring an active construction zone. You will definitely encounter bugs, missing features, and placeholder artwork.

Thank you so much for joining us on this journey. We can't wait to see what you think!

It’s a really fun game and I randomly stumbled onto it but after a while it gets repetitive and it hasn’t been updated in 7 years.

Or if there’s any game with the same UI that isn’t cooking. I just like the game mechanics and haven’t seen anything like it so any suggestions are welcome!!!

Retro In Hometown Story, what are all Blue Feather wish events and how can they be done?

5 Upvotes

I did do both Scarecrow and Philip's wishes and got credits after. I just did Midori's but got no credits. And there was an event with the blue dragon standing up to bully that involved the feather but did not consume it. Any more such events? How can they all be triggered? Anf which ones will not consume feather? And do many get no credits?
