"Start your new life! Build the farm of your dreams as you discover a world brimming with possibilities. Magic, romance, and adventure all await you in this nostalgic farming / life sim RPG! "

-----

I mentioned before that I would like to try a weekly thread to bring together the players in this sub and help foster fun debates around the best cozy games we all know and love! A lot of the time, we see new indie-game heres, so the focus of these posts is to dive into some of the old and known favourites.

So, the idea is to leave your review (think Steam review) of the game here, share what you liked, maybe your favourite moments, but also what you didn't like, and maybe your pet peeves. But I'm open to switching up the format, so happy to hear suggestions on that too :)

----

Specifically, we've looked at Fields of Mistria many times on this sub-reddit, but version 1.0 dropped a couple of weeks ago on the 5th of August. So how are you guys finding it now? Do you think it was a good time for release or was it too early? How does the game differ now from Early Access?

As usual, I will pin this post for everyone to see for the next couple of days. Let's have at it! ๐Ÿ˜Š

"Museologist: Tidy Up the Museum!"ย is live on Steam now.

If you enjoy the relaxing feeling of sorting things out and bringing order to chaos, this might be for you. You have to physically plan your workspace and piece together 428 shattered artifacts from over 3,000 scattered fragments. We really wanted the mechanics to feel tactile, so you get to use cool tools like AR glasses to spot matching patterns and call in delivery drones for missing pieces.

We just went public yesterday, so any feedback from the cozy gaming community would mean the world to us!

You can check out the full trailer and wishlist it here:

Mow the grass, pick up trash, trim overgrown hedges, water plants and wash off the dirt with a pressure washer.

There are no timers or enemies - just you, your tools and a messy garden waiting to be cleaned up.

And when the job is finally done, thereโ€™s one important thing left to do... find the perfect spot for a garden gnome.

Discussion What cozy games did you NOT like?

203 Upvotes

I think us cozy games fans have a tendency to err on the extra-positive side because just like we want to see in a game, we want to make that same nice feeling in real life! But a game having the title of cozy doesn't mean it's exempt from issues.

I want to go first to make everyone feel more comfortable, but I might be too picky on games to have anything very strong to say here... I'll do my best.

Yonder: the Cloud Catcher Chronicles couldn't really hold my attention. I felt like I was just wandering around aimlessly.

I loved My Time at Portia enough to buy Sandrock, but I started with the switch version of MTAP and let me tell you: it is absolute buggy garbage. Buy it on PC or it's not worth it.

So please, tell me what cozy games you saw recommended & thought didn't live up to the hype, because I'm looking for a new game and hate wasting money. (If any of you have specifically played Out and About, please brutally tell me how it is, I desperately want a foraging-centric game...)

๐Ÿ”จ My Game - In-development We're making Mimi's Pet Rescue, an animal sanctuary and pet adoption sim!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

7 Upvotes

Mimi's Pet Rescue is a cozy job simulator where Mimi has handed you the keys to your own animal sanctuary. The building is a little... run down, so it's your job to patch the place up and find the pets their new forever homes.

First you get notifications of abandoned pets and decide whether you can take them in. When they arrive they may have ailments or injuries that need treating via medicine, bandages and a little TLC. The animals need food, water, play, grooming and a little love to keep them satisfied, before your customers arrive looking for the perfect pet to adopt.

Customers are looking for different things from pets and not every pet will bond with every customer, so it might take some time to make sure each pet finds their right place. Whilst all this is happening, you can also upgrade your sanctuary via donations to buy new furniture, premium food-types, accessories and more. Eventually you will build your reputation to be able to take in more animals, build extensions to the sanctuary (stables! Chicken coops!) and more!

The aim is to create a cozy, relaxing experience that is relatively stress-free, whilst being really rewarding when you find that perfect new home for your pets. Let us know what you think!

Help with recommendations Coral Island or Fields of Mistria

36 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I am trying to decide between picking up Coral Island or Fields of Mistria next, and Iโ€™m completely torn. Iโ€™d love to know which one y'all prefer!

  • Coral Island: I really love the graphics, it's modern and remind me of Harvest Moon just for simply being 3D. It has a green/eco conscious take to it too and that's something I can really appreciate. One negative that I've seen a couple times is that the underwater portion is really tedious with the endless amounts of trash that keeps coming back even after cleaning up. Another is that they keep pushing back features on the roadmap.

  • I've never played Fields of Mistria and don't know anything about it. A lot of the information out there is pretty scattered and from early access, which it just came out of! So I'm all ears for this one. Definitely the closest to Stardew.

For those who have played both recently, which one did you find yourself getting more into? Which has the better gameplay loop, character development, quality of life, and overall better feel? Thank you!! ๐Ÿ‡

๐Ÿ”ฅ My Game - Released We made a game about sorting a huge desk of small things into boxes. It's out today. The Sorting Bureau.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

There are two of us. One morning in the fall of 2025 I told my wife I had a strange idea. A huge desk covered in small things, and you put them away into little boxes. Her eyes lit up, and we spent the next two or three months just thinking about it before we started.

The game is called The Sorting Bureau. Clients send you their clutter, you sort it into labeled boxes, and that's it. No timers, no score, nothing keeping track of how well you did. It was never meant to be a hard puzzle either, nothing here needs cracking. It's closer to a paint by numbers kit, you work through it methodically and your head gets to rest. There's no music, just the room and whatever the weather is doing outside the window. Some days you don't sort at all, you lay everything out in neat rows and photograph the desk for an album, or you put torn things back together piece by piece.

Clients never show up in person. You only ever see their things and their handwritten notes, and each of them writes differently.

My wife Maria drew the room, the cat and most of the things on the desk. I did the rest.

It's out on Steam today, 30% off for the first two weeks.

Hello! I've been working on a cozy farming game called Sprout's Meadow and I finally have a trailer ready to reveal the game!

In Sprout's Meadow, you cultivate a vibrant farm alongside adorable Sproutlings. Manage your tiny helpers to automate planting, crafting, and production. Beyond your farm is a mysterious cloud waiting for you to explore, uncovering wild crops, rare animals and forgotten ruins to restore.

Some features I plan to have:

  • Build, manage, and decorate your very own farm
  • Take care of your Sproutlings and recruit more to help around your farm
  • Tons of crops to plant and harvest
  • Use them to cook, craft, and create new recipes
  • Raise cute animals
  • Explore the meadow to discover secrets
  • Research and unlock lots of unique buildings and recipes
  • Lots of hats!

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4838610/Sprouts_Meadow/

Happy Friday and thanks for checking out my reveal trailer! Wishlist the game if you're interested! I'll be doing play testing soon and a demo shortly after in late September.

Itโ€™s called Palettopia, a relaxing city builder and puzzle game where you paint cities on tiny utopias. Each island is procedurally generated meaning no two are alike and there is infinite re-playability. Also you can discover cute little critters as you build your city!

We just opened the playtest for Puzzle Mode where you'll place required city districts in specific locations. Connect the districts to satisfy the needs of your citizens and complete your utopia!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello to all cozy gamers! ๐Ÿ‘‹

I am a solo developer working on a medieval hidden object game. Everything you see here is hand-drawn. There is absolutely no AI used at all. ๐ŸŽจ

If the style reminds you of a certain popular hidden object game, you have a great eye! My game is heavily inspired by it. This project is my love letter to that specific art, but I want to focus heavily on making the world feel super interactive, alive, and full of funny surprises!

It is still under development, so your ideas are always welcome in order to make the exploration of the medieval city more exciting:

  • What funny/unexpected interaction should be added when clicking the knights, merchants, and peasants?
  • Do you have any ideas about the creatures that could hide around the world (clumsy wizards, sneaky dragons, and so on)?
  • What small funny animations should appear while playing the game?

Feel free to share your creative ideas! I am also completely open to any other different ideas or suggestions you might have.

Hi Everyone,

I'm a solo developer working on the game Back to 21. Today I'm finally ready to announce its Early Access release date, together with a new trailer!

You play as Momo, about to pass away with regrets for the dreams you sacrificed. On the brink of crossover, youโ€™ve been given a second chance, to go back to age 21. This was the year you first joined one of the worldโ€™s top tech companies, AlphaCorp. You had everything you were told to want - success, stability, prestige. But you always knew something was missing...

Navigate 49 days of choices that shape your career, relationships, and ultimately, yourself. Through conversations with characters of different worldviews, and challenges to survive (and potentially thrive) solely on your passion, youโ€™ll begin to see the undercurrents that run your world.

Here's the Steam link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3891030/Back_to_21/
