There are 12 new cozy games out on Steam today and it’s a very interesting mix on offer.

You’ve got your tried and true RPG adventure inspired by a classic, a gorgeous FREE TO PLAY puzzler, and even an FMV (Full-motion video) about falling in love with a dead grandma… I don’t make the games, I just report on them.

Admittedly, the grandma game is probably going onto my wishlist out of sheer curiosity alone. Plus, the song in the trailer is kind of a bop.

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.

More cozy games!

Which of these cozy games are getting added to your wishlist? I’m deeply amused by I’m in Love With Your Dead Grandmother, it’s giving Newgrounds vibes. Where We Went is already in my library and I’m excited to dive into it.

Tasty Planet: Final Bite was immediately added to my wishlist when the creature swallowed someone, resulting in a humorous scream soundbyte. And, I feel like Escape from Ever After is going to be a staple in any gaming library!
