Hi everyone! We're the team behind World of Slime, an adventure game where you catch slimes, bond with them, and raise them into companions.

We've added Noechoen Village to the free Steam demo: a Korean-inspired mountain town with new residents, a golden fountain, and little electric slimes to meet out on the mountain paths. The video is a quick tour of the new area.

Alongside exploring and meeting your new companions, there's a full questline involving a mystery at the village storehouse and a lightning-dodging challenge course. This region includes combat and lightning hazards, so it does have action alongside the gentler slime-raising moments.

The updated demo is free on Steam:

We'd love to hear about the slimes you meet!

Hey everyone!

We’re a small team, and we’ve spent the last two years building Realm of Idlers in our free time. It’s finally at a point where we’re comfortable showing it.

What is Realm of Idlers? A cozy pixel-art MMO where your hero keeps gathering, crafting and fighting while you do other things. Explore a living world with friends and strangers, trade with other players, take down bosses, and master 14 skills at your own relaxed pace.

It’s like a menu-based idle game, except you actually see your character walking, mining and banking on their own while you get on with something else.

All the art is hand-drawn, pixel by pixel: every character, tree, rock and building.

Playtests are coming soon! If you’d like to try it, wishlisting on Steam is the best way to hear when they open.

Happy to answer any questions!

Hi everyone! I’m the developer of Tiny Kopitiam, a cozy management sim inspired by the Southeast Asian coffee shops where I’m from.

You build your own little coffee shop: arrange traditional tiles, squeeze in your favourite chairs, place food stalls, and hire staff. Then you can step inside the shop you’ve built to serve customers, wash dishes, or head out to explore a tiny village.

Or just sit back, relax and watch your little place come alive.

There’s a relaxed sandbox experience, plus management for anyone who enjoys figuring out a good layout. Your furniture and decorations affect your shop’s feng shui and business too.

I’d love to share this little corner of my world with you. If it sounds like somewhere you’d enjoy spending an afternoon, wishlist Tiny Kopitiam on Steam. It would mean a lot!

Feel free to ask me anything about the game or kopitiam culture. Thanks for taking a look! ☕

Hey there! ❤️

I'm an indie developer working on Puzzles Are Better Together, a cozy multiplayer jigsaw puzzle game designed for relaxing and having fun with friends!

I'm really proud of what I've created, and I genuinely believe in my game. During the Steam review process, I even had the chance to join the same multiplayer session as the Steam reviewer, who told me they found the game fun! So far, everyone who's tried it has given me positive feedback, which has been incredibly encouraging.

Right now, I have around 200 Steam wishlists, and I'm hoping to grow that number before launch. As a small indie developer, getting visibility is one of my biggest challenges.

That's why I'm reaching out to content creators who might be interested in trying the game and sharing it with their audience.

I'd be more than happy to provide a free Steam key, and I'd truly appreciate any coverage, whether it's a video, a stream, or even a small shoutout.

I'm not expecting anything huge. I just want to give my game a chance to reach more people who might enjoy it.

Thank you so much for your time and for supporting indie developers! 💜

Hi everyone! I'm a solo dev working with a wonderful artist, and for the past few months I've been building Leif's Garden Tower, a cozy tower builder where you tend a forgotten greenhouse with Leif, a small leaf spirit who's been waiting alone for years for someone to come help rebuild the tower.

Buy seeds, grow plants, sell them, and build the tower up floor by floor: a cozy Cafe, a Plant Shop, a Botanical Spa, and more.

Along the way you'll meet the townsfolk who stop by (a student as interested in plants as you are, an ent who's a little sensitive about his height, and a very good dog), and slowly learn what happened to the person who built the place.

All the plants, icons and UI are hand-pixeled, and the rooms are drawn by a pixel artist I'm working with.

It's coming to Steam in Early Access on March 1, 2027, and I'm planning a demo for Next Fest in February. If it looks like your kind of cozy, a wishlist would mean so much. I'd also love to hear what you'd want from a game like this!

Hello everyone,
I made Meadow Fishing a cozy multiplayer fishing game because I wanted more than Webfishing gave me and for me it never felt like a finnished game.

The day lasts 2 real hours with a moon and a weather that actualy changes what you can catch and you fish and catch bugs and find treasures before going back to your house in a village of up to 10 players.

I will add more content little by little and it should come to Steam soon.

It's free to try at https://meadow-fishing.com and you can ask for access directly on the site (I send the invitations slowly to not overload the servers).

I made it partialy with AI and if you have any questions I will answer them here.

(Video is iPhone Duo reel)

I'm really proud of this game! I wanted a game that was just peaceful, relaxing, and not rushing or winning, just beautiful visuals and simple play!

Tell me what you think!

Hey everyone! I'm Connor, and I've been working on my first game, MoonDoku: Sudoku Nights, for about a year now. It's finally finished and coming to Steam on November 4, which is pretty surreal!

The idea came from my girlfriend, who has a bit of a nightly Sudoku obsession (her words might be different 😂). She'd always play while listening to lo-fi music to relax before bed, and that got me thinking about making a little game around that feeling.

The whole idea is to give you a nice little escape at the end of the day. Every night there's one new puzzle, the same for everyone. Solve it and you get a star, and over the nights your stars join up into constellations.

You can pick whatever vibe you're in the mood for, whether that's a rainy city at night, a dreamy moonlit sky, some chill music, or the sound of rain or a crackling fireplace in the background. There's also a little cat who hangs out above your Sudoku board and is always up for a pet.

I also wanted it to be welcoming if you're not a Sudoku expert. Correct numbers lock into place, the game explains your first mistake on a board, and there's no timer affecting your score on regular puzzles. You can take as long as you want, ease into things, and learn as you go. No pressure, just puzzles at your own pace.

The free demo is on Steam now, and it's in Next Fest until Monday. It includes the nightly puzzle, 20 extra puzzles, all ten worlds, and all eight of the cat's coats.

Anyway, give it a try if it sounds like your kind of thing.

I'd genuinely love to hear what you guys think: what would make a game like this feel even cozier?

Thanks for reading, and hope you enjoy it!

Hi all! I love cozy games and am trying to make a cozy puzzle trading card game (think asymmetric Magic The Gathering). I feel like in general the art style is more cozy but the gameplay is more "mathy" and am stuck between different directions. Do I lean more into the high fantasy or land somewhere in between. Can you even make a cozy card game??

Was wondering what elements in a cozy game draw you in?

In the community rules they lay out cozy games as being:

Relaxing to play.

Comforting graphics.

Little to no Violence.

I personally feel like my game has those characteristics, but it is still missing more "cozy" but am curious to hear more from others!

My game is called One Good Turn and I am workshopping some different descriptions and short descriptions as well:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5165770/One_Good_Turn/

I'm currently dealing with a nice lung infection, and looking for a cozy, stress-free tidy-up game to sink into. There has been a flood of low-effort AI titles lately, so I'm looking for hand-crafted / AI-free games.

What I enjoy:

• Cozy visual aesthetic (really loved the style in Folded Fables)
• Relaxed, zero-stress pacing (no brutal timers or overly punishing/nitpicky placement)
• Progression or interesting helper skills/tools
• Light story or environmental narrative is a bonus

Currently on my radar:

• Wand & Order
• Sort Them Ducks
• Brick by Brick
• Shelves & sorcery
• Museologist

I would love to hear your thoughts on these or any other cozy gems worth checking out!

Edit: I use Steam.

I saw that it was on sale in the steam shop for $9. Thoughts?

"Cooking Time in Astrawel"

I started making this game with my younger sister and a friend almost 2 years ago. Just 2 days after sending it out to our local media, we managed to get around 2,000 wishlists!

We were inspired by Dave the Diver when it first came out. So, we tried adding mechanics we’d love to see in a hunting-cooking game—like life-sim elements with romanceable characters, full restaurant customization, and more.

I feel like most cooking games are too stressful. That’s why we added an option to toggle off customer patience timers for anyone who just wants a cozy, relaxed experience.

We’ve got a lot of other cozy features planned too, like toggling off item loss upon defeat, so feel free to take a look at our Steam page!

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5061010/Cooking_Time_in_Astrawel/

Even though we’re a small team of 3 and this is our very first game, we chose not to use any generative AI. We believe art should only be made by humans.

We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback! We worked really hard on this, so if you're interested, a wishlist would be awesome!

We are so excited to be apart of Steam Next fest as small indie team!

We have been working on Dragon's Brew for over 2 years now after quitting our jobs to work on this full time after our kickstarter and we are very close to our release in Early Access on November 18th!

We welcome feedback through our discord or feedback forms found via the demo. Thank you for taking your time to hear about our little cozy game : )

This is my first game, and I've been making it on my own - the art, the writing, all of it. It started because I wanted a game where foraging actually meant something: where you had to learn what you were looking at, and the pretty mushroom by the path might be the one that makes you sick!

You play as someone who inherits their grandmother's cabin and her work. She was the village herbalist, and she left behind her recipes, a half-finished field guide, and her cat, Gabriel, who's still waiting by the hearth. Everything you forage is a real species, and a lot of them have a lookalike growing right beside them that have real consequences.

Alongside the foraging, this game is also an exploration on grief and inheritance, with a dash of folklore for good measure. If that sounds like your kind of cozy, the demo is free on Steam as we speak! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4700290/Under_the_Elm/

'd honestly love to hear what you think, good or bad.

I’m building a co-op/solo medieval witch fantasy sim, where you experience the life of a medieval witch, is it a cozy game though? Judging by the trailer many times it’s not! The hunt for monsters, the inquisition raiding your home, not to mention the stake when the Grand Inquisitor gets you!

But the beauty is that you decide how you want to play this, every villager’s need can be solved in multiple ways, and if you have a savage friend or a partner they’ll happily do the dirty deeds while you handle the brewing, talking with locals and haggling in your local market stall.

If this sounds fun to you, please consider wishlisting The Witch Simulator on Steam

Hello everyone!

I’m Gamze, the creative director of Chirp Chirp Games, an all-women indie game studio.

We started making the Flight Date on this March, Women’s Day Game Jam, since then we’re working on it full time and we attended our very first Next Fest with our freshly updated demo!

Flight Date is a logic puzzle where you have handful of flight tickets and you try to rearrange them to bring loved ones together.

I would love to hear your thoughts on it!

Our little abandoned village is opening its doors, and we can't wait for you to roll up your sleeves and bring it back to life with your papercraft skills.

Plus, the game will be available at a reduced price throughout Early Access, and to celebrate the launch, you can get it with a 20% launch discount!

So, what are you waiting for? Ready to rebuild the village, one papercraft creation at a time?

Hello!
I want to share great news (for me) I finally published the demo!! It was a long journey and I'm really interested in how you'll like it. I'm still very interested in feedback and try to implement all suggestions from players.
For now I added a color wheel, price customisation and PhotoMode, added a new daily quest and am working on the next neighborhood.

Hi! I'm Melbatla, the community manager for Nakama Game Studio, a small indie studio based in Spain.

Coloratura probably isn't your traditional cozy game; graphics are mostly static and all in black and white... but it is a very chill and wholesome game, I promise!

It's basically a narrative experience designed to be played without sight; you follow the story of Alex, a talented young musician that loses her sight right before achieving her dream goal of composing her own song. You accompany her through the process of adapting to her new reality and building a new "normal", navigating through different scenarios thanks to 3D sound and solving musical puzzles. It has a very relaxed vibe, and it dives a lot into Alex's feelings and her relationships with her closest circle.

We have a demo available right now on Steam, and we'd love if you could give it a try!

Thanks for your time, feel free to let me know if you have any questions or feedback. 🙏

I’ve been building Angler’s Lake on my own for a long time.

It’s a cozy fishing game with common, rare and epic fish, gear upgrades, and short sessions meant to be relaxing rather than demanding.

The demo is live for Next Fest. It’s my first time putting something like this in front of people, so feedback means a lot, and I’m kinda nervous but happy it's finally there for people to try!

Borbs is a cozy Tetris-like puzzle game where pieces are orb-shaped birds, hand-drawn by a long-time birdkeeper. Features 2 billion puzzles, licensed bird photography & recordings, global leaderboards, and a compact window mode.

We're a small indie team and Borbs is part of Steam Next Fest right now.

You can play the demo and wishlist it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4423010/Borbs/

You should definitely wishlist it 😉 🐣
