There are six new games out this week for us to get excited about and all of them are wildly different from each other, so there should be something here for most people!
We do our best not to highlight cozy 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.

Cozy Marbles
Cozy Marbles is a building game where you create marble runs with a vast assortment of pieces in wood, metal, or plastic. Once you’ve built it up, you can set your marbles loose. Choose the color of your marbles, give them faces, or dress them up in hats for an even livelier race to the finish. Share the runs that you’re happy with and dive into runs created by others. If you’re a Twitch Streamer, it has Twitch integration so you can watch the races with your viewers.
Puppergeist
Puppergeist is a rhythm game where you play as a witch named Claire who enters the Doggie Underworld to find her lost puppy. On your travels, you’ll encounter several dogs you can play games with and learn their stories. By using your rhythm, you’ll be able to lift their spirits and ease their troubles. It features original music, a heartwarming tale, and a story about friendship.
KOTAMON: My Sis Found A Super-Rare Card In Her Cereal Box, So I Became A Garbage Man To Find The Entire Collection And Earn $1,000,000
KOTAMON: My Sis Found A Super-Rare Card In Her Cereal Box, So I Became A Garbage Man To Find The Entire Collection And Earn $1,000,000 is a scavenging game. You’ll dig through mountains of trash to find interesting things, but more notably, cards that you can add to your collection. By completing sets, you’ll earn rewards and by selling the items you find, you’ll be able to invest in upgrades. The cards you find won’t be in perfect condition, so you’ll likely need to clean them up before adding them to your binder. The cards are all hand-drawn by real people, but due to the suggestive art on some cards, I wouldn’t recommend this game for younger audiences.

The Sorting Bureau
The Sorting Bureau is a sorting game that is set within a Tokyo workshop. Clients will bring you cluttered boxes of items that you’ll need to sort through and group into piles that make sense. Sort, match, and piece everything together with no time limits or wrong answers. Every box you get comes with its own story, whether it’s clutter from a chef, a watchmaker, or someone else. You can enjoy sifting through items that are different and connected to the person requesting your help.
Settler’s Domain
Settler’s Domain is a strategy settlement-building game. Scour the land for resources and use those materials to build necessary structures for survival. Not only will you be managing a town, but you’ll explore further into the unknown to discover a procedurally generated world. With the use of a large tech tree, you can research further advancements and with influence, you can recruit new settlers. Just be aware that larger populations have larger needs, so be sure you have enough food, medicine, and housing.
