Psst, hey, you. I hear you’re in the market for some cozy games? Well, don’t tell anyone, but I’ve got the goods.
Zooming back a bit into the past, we’re picking up the games that came out after the previous article that I published last Friday. Unfortunately, I have to have a cut-off time to get content out and that means that I sometimes miss really great games that come out way later in the day.
But, never fear! We’re covering them now! Take a gander at 36 new indie games that are available to sink into right now!
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.
