Cozy games releasing on August 4th

Big Walk

Big Walk is an open-world exploration co-op adventure game. You’ll explore a large open world with your friends as you make discoveries, beat puzzles, and overcome challenges. What I love about this game is that it’s simple enough for everyone to enjoy and has a system built in that affects your voice based on where you are and how far away you are. It’s the perfect example of being a silly little guy.

Block Block Block

Block Block Block is a decorating game where you build up tiny diorama rooms. Decide every aspect of the rooms, not only in how it’s furnished, but the size of the room and the size of the objects within it as well. Whether you want to build up a bedroom, a bakery, or a whole castle, you’re only limited by your own imagination in what you can create. Stack things in interesting ways, change the colors of individual aspects, and do it all with a simple drag-and-drop system.

Spiritstead

Spiritstead is a city builder where you build up and expand out a village for tiny townsfolk to live. In this land, humans co-exist and work with magical spirits who will help you create your safe haven. The city won’t run itself, though. You’ll need to assign jobs to your villagers while making sure their needs are met and getting enough enjoyment out of life. Gameplay is at your own pace, but if you want even more freedoms, you can play in creative mode and build without any expectations.

We, Junk Artists

We, Junk Artists is a “collage-and-guess” multiplayer game for up to 6 players where you’ll create a collage of different objects to depict a given word. Others will then have to guess what the creation is. It requires no drawing, as you’ll use a pile of junk that you can manipulate into bigger or smaller pieces to form your masterpieces with. As you progress, you’ll unlock more materials to create from.

Sovereign Tower

Sovereign Tower is a round table management RPG where you play as the Sovereign of a magical tower. It’ll be up to you to lead your kingdom. You’ll listen to the woes of your people, assign knights to handle their disputes, and try your best to keep everyone happy. Knights that aren’t fulfilled may leave your round table. Each knight has their own stats in strength, agility, charisma, magic, and wit. So, try to assign the best Knight for the job. If you make your choices wisely, you’ll be able to expand your kingdom and perhaps flirt with a romance or two. If things fall apart, you can try again by rewinding time.
