    Ready for a chill sandbox gardening game? Then Plantabi: Little Garden is just the game for you! Developed by Adrian Corpuz, this adorable little game is all about decorating and building a beautiful little garden. Of course, you need to fulfill orders for customers too, because earning money allows you to buy even more! 

    Unlock new plants as you help the shop owner fulfill orders in Plantabi so you can raise a number of different types of plants. In fact, there are over 90 different plants to collect. Each plant needs to be lovingly cared for, so water and fertilize it to make it happy. Even equip each plant with a helpful orb that has unique abilities to help the plant thrive. Pick from a variety of decorative pots to perfectly design and enhance your gardening space. Plus, decorate with different items to personalize the garden into a relaxing oasis! 

    Release Date

    What’s better than setting up some great, chill music to listen to while studying or doing some work? Gamifying your productivity using Chill Pulse! Much like Spirit City: Lofi Sessions, this game features a relaxing atmosphere in the way of beautiful, immersive visuals. Pick your preferred environment like a cozy and warm study with snow falling softly outside the window. Or perhaps you enjoy a dark, futuristic room with the neon lights of a cyberpunk city shining in the window. Pair it with the best music to suit your mood, and get to work! 

    Chill Pulse encourages you to meet your work or study goals by offering an engaging and rewarding experience. You unlock new environments, soundtracks, and features as you achieve your work and study goals. There’s even a bit of a story to this productivity tool that unfolds in the background as you work. Of course, this can be done during your breaks as the game features a Pomodoro timer to help keep you on track! Set your work duration, as well as your break duration to ensure you can keep on task while giving yourself breaks. You can even make to-do lists and break those down to optimize your workflow. 

    Release Date

    Chill Pulse is coming to Steam in April!

    The Magical Mixture Mill is an exciting, colorful business management game by developer Glowlight. Griselda’s Magical Mixtures is popular amongst adventurers as a one stop shop for all potion needs. Enhance strength, intelligence, beauty, and more with concoctions from Griselda’s. However, time has taken its toll on the elderly witch, Griselda, and she’s looking for her replacement. That replacement is you, of course! Your adventuring career has been cut short by an intolerance to concoctions, so you’re the perfect candidate to take over. 

    Alongside your goblin assistant, create an automated potion-making mega store. The Magical Mixture Mill gives you a variety of workstations to build. Plus, there are other production line necessities so you can mass-produce the necessary potions to help adventurers. You aren’t always stuck in the shop, though! Explore a beautifully vibrant world full of colorful designs, too. Find and gather the necessary resources for your business. Just be careful, some of the plants fight back! 

    Can you learn the tricks of the trade and successfully take over Griselda’s famous operation?

    There appears to be an uptick in cozy room designing games lately, and I’m here for it. I know a lot of the casual, cozy gamers enjoy the building and room design aspect of The Sims. These latest design games focus solely on designing rooms and homes, without the people management. That makes these games perfect for the creatives who just want to design! Cozy Space by developer 攻壳游戏 Gamker Studio is one such game that boasts a cozy, easy-to-use interior design interface so you can create your dream rooms. 

    This gorgeous game features an extensive library of models that lets you design each room down to the minute details. Create comfy bedrooms with luxurious beds and the perfect ambient lighting. Place desks, lamps, plants, mirrors, and more for the perfect design accents. Pick appropriate wallpapers or paint colors and flooring options. Even make your dream game room, as Cozy Space is particularly geared towards gamers and includes large desks, computers, and other accessories. While you design, listen to the built-in relaxing music that you can control and customize for a better gaming experience. 

    Your imagination is the limit in this game! 

    Release Date

    Cozy Space is available now on Steam in Early Access!

    Make Room and Hometopia are a couple more cozy design games.

    News Tower, by developer Sparrow Night, lets you live the life of an aspiring influential publisher in 1930s New York. Search the globe for worthy news stories to publish. Follow key moments from the 1930s like Prohibition, the Great Depression, and more. Or write up stories that are a little less important, like the local lost cat. It’s your choice on what stories to cover, but choose wisely, as you aren’t simply writing for yourself! The mafia, the mayor, and other important factions want to use your influence to publish their “truths” for all to see. Bending to their will compromises the integrity of journalism, but it does earn you unique rewards! 

    Manage and optimize your News Tower of employees as your business expands. Hire writers, janitors, photographers, and more to make sure your newspaper becomes a success. Also ensure each person’s needs are met so they’ll be as productive as possible. Decorate each floor of the tower to offset the oily, noisy printing machines that will cause your writers to write poorly. Lush plants ought to do the trick. Your newspaper won’t make sales and become successful if your employees aren’t happy!

    Will you become a newspaper mogul?

    Release Date

    You can find News Tower on Steam now.

    Play as the fierce former Fae Queen in the cozy Final Profit: A Shop RPG by developer Brent Arnold. Your daughter felt your plans to save the realm from financial ruin were too radical so she exiled you. You merely wanted to beat the financial predators at their own game! Even the Fae Council thinks you don’t have a chance at taking down the Bureau of Business, but you’re determined to prove them wrong. Starting with nothing and certainly with no help from your kingdom, you set out to become Lord of Business by creating a successful business! 

    Final Profit offers a combatless experience where progression is tied to running your shop. Gather products and find customers to buy your wares in order to earn a profit. You can buy different buildings to add to your passive income, as well as invest in stocks. Spend your money on upgrades and paying off your debts. Automating your shop is even possible. Then, set out to explore an exciting world full of quests, minigames, and magic. Learn spells to help you in your adventures. Make decisions as you interact with people that will add to your Generosity or Ruthlessness stats, and affect how the story unfolds for you. 

    Will you save your people or will you reject your morals and become a ruthless agent of capitalism?

    Release Date

    Final Profit: A Shop RPG is available now on Steam!

    I recently wrote a review for Spirittea, which is a lovely cozy game where you run a bath house for spirits instead of the usual farming that’s taken over the cozy genre. Overall, I enjoyed the game as the characters are fun and unique, the spirits add a sense of levity (especially your guide Wonyan), and the art is pretty. I’m really excited that there’s a new update for it called the” SpecQUACKular Update”! 

    This fun new “SpecQUACKular Update” adds a few fun new things, plus fixes a bunch of bugs! Spirittea now has ducks, which I’m sure you could guess from the name of the update. The ducks can swim around the baths in the bath house, eating the algae that forms. So, not only are they cute, but they’re helpful too! There’s also a new vendor who will roll into town every once in a while carrying new items to sell. Seasonal mechanics are now present in the bath house, too. Depending on the seasons, the baths will fill with algae (hence the ducks), ice over, or fill with fallen leaves. You need to keep the baths clean and employ the new bath heaters! Bruce has new animations, and the fishing pole has a reticle so it’s easier to see where you’ve thrown your line. 

    Bug Fixes

    Fixed error where items could be lost by placing them on shelves and tables

    Fixed issues with items disappearing within inventory

    Fixed issue where NPC’s would disappear behind the restaurant

    Fixed bug where NPC’s would become stuck on a path upon reload

    Fixed issue with Quill where on Saturday nights at the food stall he would ask if you want to stop hanging out with him

    Issue fixed with NPC’s appearing on the map at a certain location but them actually not being there

    Fixed issue where NPC’s couldn’t be found during tutorial quests whilst with Amelia if you had quit to main menu mid game

    Fixed multiple issues in Miko’s quest around the mysterious rabbit and cake

    Fixed issues with a softlock during Leigh’s quest if you spoke to the spirit behind the canvas

    Doubled ugligrass spawn rate

    Fixed issue with Clarence’s quest where the statues wouldn’t come back if you left the room

    Fixed issues with the boar where they could hit the player when they were passing into another room

    You can find Spirittea on Steam, Switch, and Xbox now!

    Meowjiro is a charming combination of job sim, raising sim, and collection game. You work part-time in a convenience store. There, you need to work hard and complete a number of tasks in order to earn your paycheck. Stock shelves, prepare soft serve ice cream, heat up food, and run the cash register. You want to build your skills as a clerk and make a comfortable life for you and your cat, Meowjiro! 

    Your goal to become an all-can-do clerk in Meowjiro will take some work and planning. You need to juggle customer needs with basic duties. And when it’s super busy, you’ll need to learn how to prioritize and work quickly to satisfy all of your customers. Many of the tasks are completed through mini-games within the game. Like serving the soft serve ice cream! You must time the machine correctly to achieve the appropriate size for the order and turn it off once it has reached the size needed. As you work, you’ll earn a paycheck, which you can spend on food for Meowjiro. Once your furry friend has enough food, you can also buy furniture and decor for your home to make it cozy!
