Holy crap, we’re drowning in cozy game demos! It’s a wonder we’re all still alive with how many have dropped in the last 24 hours. If this is any indication on how things are going to progress through the year, we’re going to be flush with cozy games in the future!

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.
