It's like when devs add snow to their game for the "seasonal holiday event." It's winter. There's already snow in real life... why would I want that in my video game?
Can you please send me a link or something? What platform? I have been watching vids and waiting for it to release in full. Says it is $21.99 for me. I don't doubt I would get moneys worth out of it but a bit cheaper would be better atm, things are a little tight. @@Luluwahkey
I liked a little to the left. My advice? Play it slowly. When you’re done, put it down and wait 2 months or so to pick it back up. I blasted through it and then replayed it too soon which was way worse a play experience than if I had played a chapter then waited a day before playing the next one.
I'd never heard of a little to the left before, it looks like such a satisfying game. Kinda reminds me of Unpacking, my absolute favorite cozy game to play.
oh man unpacking is such a great one, ive watched a E&K play through it and it looks like such a great time. if you like unpacking for the story, there isent as much in A Little To The Left but the vibes are all there.
Cozy Grove is a game that I like that isn’t farming. Your main objective is to help spirit bears open up and figure out how to help them move on. It’s a really cute game. You can put up trees and bushes for some resources but you don’t make plots, plant seeds, or water them to grow them and it’s not a huge focus of the game at all.
spiritfarer 100% OMG so cozy. its so sweet n sad and comforting i love it. you run a ship that tranports spirits to the afterlife. you get really attached to them and each character has such a unique story and personality. you can build up your ship and travel the world with them and meet so many other characters. also your character has a pet cat so extra points. this game literally had me in happy/sad tears at the end
I let Gourdlets run in the background when I have other things to do on the computer and come back to it for a couple of minutes every now and then. Like that, it's a lot of fun.
Spirit farer is also an amazing cozy game! Yes it is a neighbourvania just like most farmer games, but the focus is not so much on farming. The vibes and story are amazing! It is one of my favorite all time games, highly recommend!
Fun, cute, charming, but sadly very short. There is definitely a point where you can keep going just to keep going, but you're just delaying the end at that point
I dunno if this would be considered cozy or comfy to others but one of my absolute fave comfort game series is the Room games (not affiliated or related to the movie). They're these mystery puzzle box games, theres currently 4 games plus 1 VR game. The first game in the series is pretty cheap and its a good introduction to the world but it's sequels are such huge improvements, my personal faves are the 3rd and 4th. The asthetics are spooky but theres no real horror in them, they are very well made and i love them with my whole heart. Im hoping theres another one in the works.
I'm always drawn to building games/games that aren't intensive with beautiful aethetics. Thank you for showcasing more of them! I'm definetly going to be getting most of these. ❤
A game I feel would fit seamlessly into this list is GNOG! It's a whimsically charming game about solving 'puzzle boxes,' except these puzzle boxes could be anything ranging from a frog's head to a submarine, to a candy shop. It has beautiful visuals, satisfying solutions, and feels very in line with the tone/vibe of the other games you recommended!
I think my toddler niece would LOVE Odada. Even if she doesn’t make “good” music, that kind of “wow! I’m doing things! It’s moving and making sound!” Experience can grow into a love for music.
Horticular is another recent super cozy game. You build up a garden ecosystem and settle animals, but I wouldn't exactly place it in any kind of farming category since there is no harvest or production of any kind. More of a puzzle.
@@CozyDesignStudios currently, I'm making a pokemon clone, as always with me - from the ground up so it's a long process, but I dabbled in pretty much all genres that can be feasibly made without serious maths knowledge. did deckbuilder cardgames, topdown shooter, a few platformers, dungeon crawler, and a few dozen incomplete ideas from all across the spectrum of games. cozy games look really interesting in their approach to player goal and gameplay, but normally they are not for me. I might check a couple of the games in this list though, they did look fun.
Idk if this game was mentioned or not, but I’ve played Unpacking SEVERAL times . There’s not motive besides unpacking someones life story but that’s why its so sweet and cozy and the soundtrack is INCREDIBLE
Tiny Glade looks... Extremely good for extremely specific things. (The game that I'd consider if not a cozy game then at the minimum on the periphery is Sapling. An evolution sim where you can design creatures and - in the sandbox mode - watch them gradually evolve over eons. There's a more involved scenario mode where you're designing creatures and ecosystems to fullfil goals, but using the sandbox mode as a sort of virtual fishbowl is the heart of the game for me.
I'm not sure how big this game's reach is. But Coffee Talk is a game made by the people who made Infectionator waaay back in the day. It's a cute visual novel where you run a late night coffee shop in a modern fantasy setting. Seeing the lives of new customers turned regulars happen in front of you with a little twist come the end. It's adorable and you can touch the lives around you while playing. I fully recommend it. Also, the soundtrack is AMAZINGLY vibe full. Tons of smooth jazz and lo-fi inspired music.
I highly recommend Beacon Pines. It's an intriguing story game with many branching paths and beautiful art. It can get sad at times but it's amazing nonetheless.
That first game reminds me of the idea I had a while back for a game where you start by building the world, preferably medieval fantasy then you start the game spawning in as the world is simulated. Ecosystems and quests are dynamically generated, quests mainly when something is out of balance for instance too many predators, or not enough food. If the world isn't well balanced it could cause a collapse of different systems.
@@CozyDesignStudios all you would need to do is keep track of the number of each animal and a couple other variables, when the population of an animal gets too high or too low you post a quest, do the same for any other type of quest, for instance if a child character moves too far from town then you can have a quest starting with where they left town and have them leave clues like footprints or broken branches with cloth on them. It would be a lot of variables, but if you just have a trigger when certain variables reach certain values you should be able to make a variety of quests dynamically.
I am working on a simple RPG with a simulated wilderness and dynamic quests using the population of animals. I plan to expand to keep track of the villages supplies, with npcs going hunting and gathering.
damn well yea it sounds like youve put alot of thought into it haha you clearly know your shit, make sure to let me know if you ever post your game somewhere I really wanna check it out when its ready!
Bruhhh im currently finishing A Little to the Left… a little bit more and i’ll jam a pencil to my ear. I’m not that smart and this game slaps it to me every freaken level 🥲🥲🥲 (it’s worth it. Aesthetic, sfx, puzzles! Kudos team!)
surprised to see A Short Hike not mentioned, it's a great game that i LOVED playing through. as you can guess, it's about hiking, but along your journey you meet various people with their own stories and challenges all the way to the summit of the mountain. it's amazing, and a little emotional.
Just found your channel and very happy about it: I never was really into farming games and on a rainy sunday here in Italy I really needed something cozy before starting my week, great video!
I grew up in farm country. I got OUT of that area as soon as possible. The very last thing I want to do for coziness is.. farm. So some of these sound good.
I’m playing a lot of supermarket simulator while waiting for Luma Island to release this month. Luma island has farming in it but you get to pick your profession. Baking, fisher, miner, etc. I’m planning to spend quite a bit of time on that game.
I've been looking for more relaxing building games....i owe you my life. I've never heard of these games before, i'm so excited to give them a try! Thanks for the recommendations :D
As someone who has studied musictheory and musicproduction, Oddada looks suuuper nice to when you're stuck in a loop or just generally stuck. Im really looking forward to playing it, just downloaded it:)))))
If you haven't played A Short Hike, you will probably love it. You basically just explore an island, slowly developing your ability to move through it, while encountering charming characters. Only game where I completed everything because I didn't want to stop playing. Still boot it up to run and fly around and play the minigames from time to time, despite there being nothing left to achieve, just because the vibes are so damn good It is kinda short, but way less so than I assumed. It took a while for me to find every single thing, tho if you're searching more meticulously it might take less. Tho part of the fun is to just chill and move around and then going "oh neat, something I didn't find yet"
“Mutazione” is a story game where you go around and talk to everyone, if that is something you like. However my favorite is “Alba: a wildlife adventure”, where you walk around an island and take photos of animals, with a broader story about the island’s habitat:)
I really like moonstone island, a farming game where you don't have to do any farming. The five is more in exploration and collecting Pokemo... I mean spirits
Lil’ Gator Game! It’s got the exploration, climbing, gliding, and sliding of Breath of the Wild, but none of the fall damage. It centers around a bunch of kids at the park playing a huge fantasy game. It’s so cute, and wholesome, and fun!
Didn’t realize people were bored of farming games, I’m literally in the middle of making one. Like the goal is to find a seed plant it grow it, find a new seed plant it grow it. Like locations and growing gets more difficult as the game goes on. The literal point is a farming loop
my non-farming cozy game of choice is called Moonstone Island! Think of it like cozy Pokémon! You are an alchemist who leaves home for the first time and find yourself on a sky island town, where you are tasked with defeating and capturing “spirits” on the other sky islands all around you. The confrontations with spirits are structured like a Pokémon battle, with your moves dealt to you out of a deck of cards. The game has stardew-esque relationship building, and you *can* farm crops, but it’s not massively important to the game, just convenient! As someone who loves Stardew and Pokémon, I think it is so perfect and so underrated, so I take every chance I get to sing its praises!
oh yea i really liked playing that one! im not much into turn-based games but there was somthing really unique and entertaining about flying around to all the different islands
I used to produce SO much music last year and then one day all of the motivation and creativity sort of just… dried up. Im really looking forward to trying Oddada and seeing if any of that creative spark comes back!
As someone who do music, i adore the consept of Odadda! Making music nowdays is so easy, more people should try it. And cute little games like this can help ALOT in bringing people in :)
Just discovered this channel, totally my vibe! The video is just as cozy as the games. I liked your explanations, really clearly showing the uniqueness of each game and their appeal. Will def be binge-watching the rest of your videos. Oh, and I hope you don't mind me saying but damn you're a handsome guy ^^;
I’m in between. I *love* farming games but 90% of “farming games” are just doing it to copy Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon. But those copies never have the same polish and finish SDV and HM have. Often it’s added in as an afterthought to an entirely different game, which is fine, but then it gets marketed as “indie games with farming” and I end up in a game *not about farming* with 15-30 dollars less in my wallet
My Time at Portia and Ooblets are two examples, at least I think so. Portia also puts a big emphasis on surrounding regions but I don’t think you visit them in the game itself. That’s fine but the emphasis in-game makes you feel like Portia the game is smaller than it could be, because the allure of “nearby” countries is there. Again maybe I’m wrong, I haven’t beaten it anyway.
i love management/economy games but not farming so much and i love cat cafe manager. finished it in a weekend bc i got so sucked in but i wish it had taken me longer
I pesonally love Tsuki Odyssey. While it technically has a farm, and you could plant several differnt crops, you could also only plant carrots, which are used as the currency in the game. You collect the carrots and new ones are planted immediately, all with 1 click, and then you can buy cute things to decorate your tree house with, or interact with your friends. They regularly have new seasonal events on, with event specific furniture and decorations you can buy to decorate your and your friends' houses with. And if I don't want to play for a couple of days, I don't.
I’m glad I watched these, the first two look great. The game where you have to clean up seems really dumb though. I don’t want to do that in real life. It looks blander than bland.
Try out "Alchemist Simulator" Not Potion Craft, the name is just Alchemist Simulator, it's so cute, so cozy, and so funny, it just happened to release at the same time as Potion Craft and I think it's a shame that they didn't get as much attention because of that
A Little to the Left is such a great game. I'm glad I bought it packaged with both the DLC, but now I'm sad I finished all the puzzles (minus the dailies). Farming in games has always been my least favorite part. I would love it if there were more games where you were a villager doing any other job you wanted and socializing with everyone. It's why I was so excited for the Fantasy Life game that got announced. I'd much rather play a tailor making and designing clothing than growing crops or taking care of livestock.
Have you tried Equilinox? It’s a game where you build environments, the plants and animals can mutate to funny colors, and the solo developer made a video log of the development.
Have you played far: lone sails? That's probably my favourite cozy game i think it's a really beautiful mix of being intellectually stumulating while also giving you these moments of respite where you enjoy the design of the game. There is some peril i guess, but i would definitely say it's a cosy game! I also saw someone else recommebd kingdom two crown i also would recommend that game.
Omg yes I covered that game in a past video but I absolutely agree it's a cozy game. I loved every second playing it the vibes were *chefs kiss* I haven't tried the other one tho maybe I'll have to give it a look!
hi!! i really liked this video! i’m definitely gonna check out oddada! i’ve wanted to learn how to make music for a long time but any music software has only confused me more, i’m gonna give it a shot! i will say, i put videos on in the background while i do chores around the house and when you would start talking about a new game, you wouldn’t mention the title verbally as you introduced it so i’d have to pop back into the room to see if it was a game i’d heard of or not before. also this is my first video of yours i’ve watched, so if you haven’t played Kingdom: two crowns, i’d suggest checking it out! it’s definitely what my bf and i go to when we need a cozy game to play for a few hours :) keep making great videos!!
Hey thanks so much im really glad you enjoyed the video 😁 thats a really great point haha ill think about ways i can mention the names more right up front, and ooo great recommendation! ill definitely check it out, maybe my girlfriend will like playing it with me like your SO does haha. Thanks so much for the comment i hope you enjoy the other videos on the channel!
cracks me up that you spent 5 minutes talking about a music making game and didn't include any examples of the music! thanks for the video, these all look great :)
I'm a little sad, because I have looked for games like Tiny Glade for mobile so many times. There's a few similar games, but this one looks exactly what I have wanted for when I'm at work on a lunch break.
@msSimJohnson Yeah. I've used it a few times. I kind of works. Sort of a better than nothing option. And neither of them really allow me to make as big of a map as I would like. But Townscraoer doesn't have any customization to it outside of color. You basically just tap to add a level and that's it. Worse comes to worse I'll likely get one of the portable gaming devices for windows and I can then just use that.

Dredge can be pretty cozy if you ignore The Horrors
DREDGE MENTION
Ahhh, life
Honestly agreed. It’s weirdly cozy. Kind of like Cultist Simulator. It’s eldritch in nature, but still cozy
the capitalization on the horrors 😂
The sounds track in the marrows is so lovely. Specially around 6am.
I liked a little to the left. My advice? Play it slowly. When you’re done, put it down and wait 2 months or so to pick it back up. I blasted through it and then replayed it too soon which was way worse a play experience than if I had played a chapter then waited a day before playing the next one.

Cozy Grove is a game that I like that isn’t farming. Your main objective is to help spirit bears open up and figure out how to help them move on. It’s a really cute game.

My favourite "cozy game" is Valheim. By adjusting the world settings it can be very relaxing and fun to explore.

This video is very cozy i love it
Letters To Arralla to soon! You're a thicky little guy delivering letters.
Didn’t realize people were bored of farming games, I’m literally in the middle of making one. Like the goal is to find a seed plant it grow it, find a new seed plant it grow it. Like locations and growing gets more difficult as the game goes on. The literal point is a farming loop
It might not be your jam but I love the “Hidden Cats in “ series.
I haven't played them but I've watched some people play and they look so fun!
OMG U know about Gourdlets too?!?!? It’s so fun! ❤
my non-farming cozy game of choice is called Moonstone Island! Think of it like cozy Pokémon!
You are an alchemist who leaves home for the first time and find yourself on a sky island town, where you are tasked with defeating and capturing “spirits” on the other sky islands all around you. The confrontations with spirits are structured like a Pokémon battle, with your moves dealt to you out of a deck of cards. The game has stardew-esque relationship building, and you *can* farm crops, but it’s not massively important to the game, just convenient!
As someone who loves Stardew and Pokémon, I think it is so perfect and so underrated, so I take every chance I get to sing its praises!
oh yea i really liked playing that one! im not much into turn-based games but there was somthing really unique and entertaining about flying around to all the different islands
I used to produce SO much music last year and then one day all of the motivation and creativity sort of just… dried up. Im really looking forward to trying Oddada and seeing if any of that creative spark comes back!
AHH man I'm sorry, creativity ebs and flows I'm sure it'll come back! And I hope oddada can help with that
Unrelated, but where did you get that 3 level wooden wall shelf in the background? I love it
Haha I made it out of some butcher block I had in the shop, I'm glad you like it 😁
Love your videos and recommendations! Keep em coming!
Thanks so much! Im really glad you enjoy them 😁
My younger has enjoyed Incredibox and Songbird Symphony. Can’t wait to see what he does with Oddada. Thank you.
That's awesome to hear! I hope he likes it!
Valheim is my favorite cozy farming game
As someone who do music, i adore the consept of Odadda! Making music nowdays is so easy, more people should try it. And cute little games like this can help ALOT in bringing people in :)
Just discovered this channel, totally my vibe! The video is just as cozy as the games. I liked your explanations, really clearly showing the uniqueness of each game and their appeal. Will def be binge-watching the rest of your videos. Oh, and I hope you don't mind me saying but damn you're a handsome guy ^^;
haha thanks im glad you like the videos!
I’m in between. I *love* farming games but 90% of “farming games” are just doing it to copy Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon. But those copies never have the same polish and finish SDV and HM have. Often it’s added in as an afterthought to an entirely different game, which is fine, but then it gets marketed as “indie games with farming” and I end up in a game *not about farming* with 15-30 dollars less in my wallet
My Time at Portia and Ooblets are two examples, at least I think so. Portia also puts a big emphasis on surrounding regions but I don’t think you visit them in the game itself. That’s fine but the emphasis in-game makes you feel like Portia the game is smaller than it could be, because the allure of “nearby” countries is there. Again maybe I’m wrong, I haven’t beaten it anyway.
i love management/economy games but not farming so much and i love cat cafe manager. finished it in a weekend bc i got so sucked in but i wish it had taken me longer
gonna throw Minami Lane and Webfishing out as recommendations to any people looking in the comments for more!
This man's vocal fry is off the charts
I pesonally love Tsuki Odyssey. While it technically has a farm, and you could plant several differnt crops, you could also only plant carrots, which are used as the currency in the game. You collect the carrots and new ones are planted immediately, all with 1 click, and then you can buy cute things to decorate your tree house with, or interact with your friends. They regularly have new seasonal events on, with event specific furniture and decorations you can buy to decorate your and your friends' houses with. And if I don't want to play for a couple of days, I don't.
That sounds great!
i love games like this omg thank you
I’m glad I watched these, the first two look great. The game where you have to clean up seems really dumb though. I don’t want to do that in real life. It looks blander than bland.
My favorite cozy game is Garden Galaxy! It's so good✨
Vintage Story is a very cozy game. At least, I feel like it is!
Side note, what's your watch?
Haha it's a cassio calculator/database watch you can get them on Amazon for like 50 bucks, HIGHLY recommend!
I personally love the lost campfire, i don't know if its cozy by definition, but its very nice
I’ve seen a few other people mention this one in the comments, I’d love to see a video with this in it!
I just added it to my cart 😂 it totally looks like it could be a cozy game!
Try out "Alchemist Simulator"
Not Potion Craft, the name is just Alchemist Simulator, it's so cute, so cozy, and so funny, it just happened to release at the same time as Potion Craft and I think it's a shame that they didn't get as much attention because of that
Unpacking is worth a look too.
I think he’s mentioned it in some other games for sure ! :)
What kind of watch are you wearing?
The Last Campfire & Dorfromantik ✨
Dredge is a cozy game. I am not accepting opinions.
Ah, I've seen A Little to the Left a bunch on Steam, but was never interested.. but I think my wife may actually LOVE it!
That's awesome! I hope she does haha
CK2 AGOT is both my cozy game & my Roman Empire
I love a Little to the Left xD and couldn’t wait that they released Tiny Glade. I heard from Tiny Glade on the Gamescom last year :D
A Little to the Left is such a great game. I'm glad I bought it packaged with both the DLC, but now I'm sad I finished all the puzzles (minus the dailies).
Farming in games has always been my least favorite part. I would love it if there were more games where you were a villager doing any other job you wanted and socializing with everyone. It's why I was so excited for the Fantasy Life game that got announced. I'd much rather play a tailor making and designing clothing than growing crops or taking care of livestock.
Subscribed, liked, and commented
Have you tried Equilinox? It’s a game where you build environments, the plants and animals can mutate to funny colors, and the solo developer made a video log of the development.
It's actually on my wishlist rn haha it looks super interesting I can't wait to give it a try!
Have you played far: lone sails? That's probably my favourite cozy game i think it's a really beautiful mix of being intellectually stumulating while also giving you these moments of respite where you enjoy the design of the game. There is some peril i guess, but i would definitely say it's a cosy game!
I also saw someone else recommebd kingdom two crown i also would recommend that game.
Omg yes I covered that game in a past video but I absolutely agree it's a cozy game. I loved every second playing it the vibes were *chefs kiss*
I haven't tried the other one tho maybe I'll have to give it a look!
now i kinda also wanna see good farming games that arent cozy..
That's a good idea, I'll try and find some of those haha
@@CozyDesignStudios :o awesomeee ^-^ i guess i gotts subscribe then so i dont miss it :p
@andyv2209 I mean you said it not me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 😂
@@CozyDesignStudios ^-^
There’s Pumpkin panic which is a farming horror game if you’re interested
I've been enjoying Gourdlets since release.
It's pretty great.
Totally agree haha
Dave the Diver!
Omg I think he actually mentioned this one in one of his previous videos! Don’t remember which one it was but it definitely looked rly cool !
hi!! i really liked this video! i’m definitely gonna check out oddada! i’ve wanted to learn how to make music for a long time but any music software has only confused me more, i’m gonna give it a shot! i will say, i put videos on in the background while i do chores around the house and when you would start talking about a new game, you wouldn’t mention the title verbally as you introduced it so i’d have to pop back into the room to see if it was a game i’d heard of or not before.
also this is my first video of yours i’ve watched, so if you haven’t played Kingdom: two crowns, i’d suggest checking it out! it’s definitely what my bf and i go to when we need a cozy game to play for a few hours :) keep making great videos!!
Hey thanks so much im really glad you enjoyed the video 😁 thats a really great point haha ill think about ways i can mention the names more right up front, and ooo great recommendation! ill definitely check it out, maybe my girlfriend will like playing it with me like your SO does haha. Thanks so much for the comment i hope you enjoy the other videos on the channel!
cracks me up that you spent 5 minutes talking about a music making game and didn't include any examples of the music! thanks for the video, these all look great :)
I'm a little sad, because I have looked for games like Tiny Glade for mobile so many times. There's a few similar games, but this one looks exactly what I have wanted for when I'm at work on a lunch break.
Ahhh yea that might be a bit difficult to pull off locally on mobile, you could look into game streaming? Maybe that would work for you
Have you tried Townscaper? It's not the same, but has a similar vibe and it's on mobile
@msSimJohnson Yeah. I've used it a few times. I kind of works. Sort of a better than nothing option. And neither of them really allow me to make as big of a map as I would like. But Townscraoer doesn't have any customization to it outside of color. You basically just tap to add a level and that's it.
Worse comes to worse I'll likely get one of the portable gaming devices for windows and I can then just use that.
I was born into the slow country life and need my fantasy to be different to my reality. 😂
Totally fair 😂
