January 7th is Old Rock Day… yes, really. So, what better way to celebrate than with cozy geology games? Admittedly, one of these games surrounds fossils and we could argue that that’s more suitable for paleontology. However, fossils can sometimes be rocks and I wanted to offer a varied option.

So, let’s just all agree that fossils belong on this list!

We do our best not to highlight games that use Generative AI at any level of development or marketing. At the time of posting, these games have not reported or disclosed using Gen AI. Likewise, all articles are written and edited by humans… as evidenced by our occasional errors.

DigDigDrill

DigDigDrill

DigDigDrill is a mining and resource-collecting game where you’ll search for ores and treasures. With collected minerals, you’ll be able to create new drills to reach lower depths. This game is a bit more of a grind, so if that’s not your brand of cozy, you may want to second-guess this one.
