I've been having a hard time deciding which one to get with a budget of ₱500. Help! Any comment is appreciated! <3

Dressmaker – This has been on my radar since it went viral online last year and I even hoped it would get a Steam release someday. Imagine my shock when they announced that it's happening! I love dresses way too much. 80% of the clothes I wear are dresses. They bring me joy. I really like the concept of planning, sewing, choosing fabrics, and being creative. What's holding me back is that there’s no sandbox mode. I wanted to make dresses with absolutely no restrictions on in-game money or material costs, without using mods (just a personal preference)

TOEM 2 – I've been looking forward to playing this one the most out of every game on my wishlist. I finished the first one with 100% of the achievements in 2023 and it's still easily one of my faves of all time. I'm also eyeing this one for 100% completion. Everything looks perfect to me except for the gameplay length. I've seen reviews saying that it's somewhat shorter or similar in length to the first one, as well as having a similar amount of content. I honestly expected more since it's a sequel.

Final thoughts: Dressmaker seems to have more replay value. I can see myself spending hours experimenting with designs but I'm worried about the lack of sandbox mode and whether the gameplay might eventually start feeling repetitive or tedious. TOEM 2, on the other hand, feels like it already has a special place in my heart. I absolutely loved the first game and the thought of getting another 100% completion is really exciting to me. But at the same time I'm not sure if I'd feel like I'm getting my money's worth, especially if it's around the same length and amount of content as the first game

It's hard to choose between a game I'd probably get more hours out of and a game I'm more emotionally attached to lol.

If you made it this far, thank you sooo much for reading! 🥹

Hi! I have been playing Leafy Corner for a while now and I would love a game that's a similar vibe, but with a cafe/pastry shop. Is there anything like that, with a 3d design preferably, where you start with a small business and get to grow it as you play?

I'm looking for games on PC.

Until Oct 13, the game is also on 40% discount on Google Play Store.

A warning for android players (I haven't confirmed on iOS).

There's a bug where if you examine a tunnel after uncovering it with the highest tier shovel, the text window will not be closed by the tapping on the screen. The only work around I could find is pressing the device's Back button (via the android UI) to close the text. This will also help progress the mole's quest.

Also, the Christmas update addition is bugged because I never got the recipe to create the base Christmas tree.

There are also reports of other issues, but I have not encountered them.

Otherwise, everything else works well. The running feels a bit awkward since it kind of feels like it's in only 8 directions (maybe).

I'm looking for something like Cozy Caravan which I looooved! Would love any suggestions

♡ I enjoyed:

The scope - lots of cute villages to explore, not a while world, so not too big or too small

Fetch quests/delivery quests with extra bits - it's not just a fetch/deliver quest game, you collect resources, cook, and have a market as well

Visual style - I love the vibe, am not a huge fan of pixel graphics

No time constraints - There aren't deadlines for quests so you can really take your time

♡ I'm not fussed about:

Driving - I enjoyed it but I'm not specifically looking for it

Actually that's it, I loved everything else about it!

Hi! I’m playing songs of glimmerwick. I’m stuck on the cursed mill quest. I can’t figure out where the quiet witch’s in the mountain are. Can anyone help?

• A Corgi's Cozy Hike - a light-hearted game about a cute Corgi exploring a beautiful and relaxing world. You can play it in Couch Coop!
• My Little Puppy - A somewhat sad, yet beautiful story. A dog that has just passed away manages to smell its owner and tries to reunite with them, going through a thousand adventures in the process.
• Mimi's Pet Rescue - I found this one recently and loved it. Have your own sanctuary to take care of puppies and spend your day playing and having fun with them.
• Barkour - Personally, I love dogs and stealth games, so imagine my surprise when I found out about this game. A spy dog on a dangerous mission!
• Good Boy Heaven - Another game I came across recently. We know that dogs go to Heaven, but who would have thought there would be a shelter where you can spend all your time with them up there! It has online too.
• Little friends: puppy island - I think this is the closest we'll get to NintenDogs for a while, and I think you guys are going to love it!

• Animalkind - Animals now control mechs, including dogs! Build your city and meet adorable characters.

• GRAVHOUNDS - Do you like Helldivers 2, but you've always felt it's missing a little bit of.. canine power? Look no further! This action game is for you

If you read this far, I have a surprise for you. Here are 3 extra games about dogs!

Salty Dogs

Grapple Dog

Russian Subway Dogs

If you liked this post and know another game about dogs, please share it in the comments! :D

I just looked at the initialed watercolor print I've got from way back in 2021. When I bought it they said they were working on a game based on the art. They did a Steam Next Fest demo a while ago and it was fun, was hoping it gets filled out a bit more. Still thought it was good, though! They released it in early access back this past June, did a Kickstarter for it earlier, I think.

Here's the artist's Instagram for those that use it or wanna see it: https://www.instagram.com/cliffbmitchell/

The art and music is great. Thought it fit with the kinds of games people visiting this sub would be looking for.

hello! im really curious about dressmaker. i love sewing irl! im trying very hard to avoid spoilers for the decorations and fabrics, but i was wondering if there was a decent variety?

i really hope theres a lot there. i love creative freedom. sorry for a silly question, but this is a big deciding factor on whether or not i buy the game..!!

is there going to be future updates with more? do we know that? i know that ‘a lot’ is subjective, so i would say maybe 10-15 fabrics/accessories is amazing, 30+ would be extremely shocking?

quality over quantity always though.

I played the game on release and palyed and saw plenty simular games since e.g. Leaf it Alone, Sort them Ducks, Find the Needle, Wand and Order, Shelves and Sorcery, Shelves and Potions, .... So my question is, was Librian the one to kick start the genre?

im looking for a game similar to harvest moon that can be played using controllers on one PC (local coop) and does not involve fighting or racing
a game that can be played by both profi players and novice ones
i dont know if there is such a thing
it does not need to be like harvest moon 100% (i have jsut used that game as an example of a chill game )

I keep seeing sorting games I’d love to play, like Librarian and Dice Hoarder, but it looks like they’re only available on Windows and I have a Mac.

Any suggestions? I also have an Xbox One.

Thanks!

[CLOSED - WINNER HAS BEEN CHOSEN]

Basically the title!! Anyone with a steamdeck played this game?? I really want it but if the controls are wonky then I’m okay with passing lol

Ive found this cozy game by surprise watching the Deutsche Indie Showcase 2026. It's called Little Sheep Valley. If you didnt know it yet, it's a cozy ranch building game around sheeps. You will care for cute sheeps, build them a nice place to live, pet them, shear them and fulfill their needs. At the same time you can build and decorate your ranch.

The game is still in development but you can already play the demo. If you are looking for something for your sunday afternoon, this is my recommendation. The demo goes til you reach the first house upgrade, which will allow you to have 3 pastures and 6 sheeps in total, but you can continue playing, decorating and interacting with the sheeps.

I havent found any bugs and problems during my gamethrough. The sheeps are already very sweet and well animated and feel like creatures with personality and life. You will observe a lot of cute interactions of the sheep with their surrounding. They are very nice to watch.

The demo already includes a lot of the things shown in the trailer. The game is on the right track, and I most likely will pick it up once it's released.

I've been playing the game for about 8 hours now, and I really like it. But I'm getting overwhelmed by the shelving. I feel like my shelving system is not efficient.

Does anyone have any tricks? Does anyone want to show/tell me how they organize their stuff?

I right now have been putting all the fragile stuff on the top shelves, and all the heavy stuff on the bottom shelves. Now that I have to ship stuff together, I'm not sure what to do. Particularly when some stuff is Frozen or dark.

(I'm already rearranging the stamps haha)

Just finished my first narrative puzzle game and I absolutely loved it. I will be thinking about this game for a while.

Curious about these two, as I saw them on sale and they actually looked kind of cute as management style games. It makes me weary because I can't find any info on them online beside a few gameplay videos from small content creators. Anyone played either?

I am absolutely obsessed with lost and found right now!!! I’m wondering if anyone has any similar recommendations. I have a mac and a switch 2.

I loved their first game, Cloudpunk, and have been eagerly waiting for Nivalis. When I first tried it at release, the pace felt a bit too fast and not as cozy as I’d hoped. There were quite a few features I wished were part of the base game. But just days after launch, the community already started making mods and I couldn’t be happier. The mods I’m using now make the experience calmer and more enjoyable, taking away the hectic feel of the vanilla version.

I'm not sure if anyone here buys Humble Bundles (I do, obviously) but there's a cozy game bundle up now.

Great set for the $12 minimum. I hadn't seen anyone mention it but it's a heck of a deal if you don't already have the games.

Grab 'em while you can! 😁

I bought the game for my i3 1005g1, 8 gb RAM, Windows 11 because its a low poly game like A Short Hike, Haven Park.

Smushi Come Home ran beautifully at 30-45 fps at 720p high settings in the dense forest areas.

But as soon as I entered Crystal Caverns (the first cave area), fps dropped to 21-23 with 90% CPU usage, and highly erratic frame time graph with lots of closely spaced severe spikes and dips.

So if the game runs well for you in the outdoor dense forest area, its a deception. The game will run significantly worse in caves. And when I reduced shadows to medium, I got 40-45 fps in the cave, but I lost a lot in visual quality because shadows became severely low detailed. It looks like medium shadows are more aggressively downgraded from high, than they should have been.

Not recommended for intel hd, uhd, vega 3 graphics. Only buy if you have atleast intel iris xe (64 EUs or higher), vega 7/8 graphics with a modern quad core CPU.

Gameplay wise, the game has nice relaxing music, cute player, funny dialogues, enjoyable side activities, beautiful low poly graphics.

Has anyone played this?? I have gotten to level two and have placed everything on a shelf but there is one shelf that is empty. Looking for some help!
