My favourite cosy game this year has to be Grimshire. I loved it, and it’s still in Early Access. Really hard to choose though!!! I genuinely loved all the games in those screen shots.

Stream Replay is here! Some of my faveeees from 2025!
Can’t believe I played 75 games but there were tons of great ones out (and some older classics I’d not picked up before) so it definitely tracks!

Log Away has stolen my heart. I’ll be writing a full review on it this week, but wanted to share it!
I love decorating, design games, cosiness and cabins, so this was made for me.
What I loved most is taking photos of my builds, and changing the weather to get the perfect light for my shots!

Is anyone else playing/played Cast n Chill? I’ve had it since the summer, but this week I’ve been playing non stop! It’s so relaxing and actually pretty addicting 😅

Sorry but can we just stop and look at how gorgeous the art in Winter Burrow is, and how utterly adorable the little mouse is?!

Instantly bought Winter Burrow last night and spent the evening playing.
Absolute gem of a game where you play as a little mouse trying to survive the winter in a burrow that needs fixing up!
Perfect to coorie in with on a cold stormy night 🌧️ 🐭

Happy weekend everyone 🥰
What are you all playing this weekend? I’ve started Unbox the Room, also have my Stardew farm on the go as always, and patiently waiting for Winter Burrow to release on Tuesday…!

Happy Monday, friendlings!
I’m working today, but taking it easy with lots of tea and listening to some lofi.
Can’t stop thinking about Winter Burrow - I’m so excited to play the full game. I’ve uploaded my demo play through onto YouTube if you want to take a look 🐁
Have a peaceful day ✌️

Just finished Öoo and absolutely loved it.
The puzzles were a perfect balance for me, clever without being frustrating, and the whole game has a nostalgic, cozy vibe that totally pulled me in.
A gem of a game that I’ll be thinking about for a while! Thank you @namataka.bsky.social 🐛🩷

Hello Bluesky! It’s been a relentlessly busy work week so I’m really happy to now be at the weekend and ready to chill out with some games!
Also wanted to share some little desk details with you, these really cute fidgets are from Flexi Fidgets and they really help my anxiety 🫶

I picked up Öoo this week after hearing a review on the @underplayedpod.bsky.social podcast and HOLY SHIT it’s good!
It’s the exact kind of clever, cosy puzzle-platformer I adore.
Highly recommended! And 20% off on Steam right now!
Also… the colours are to die for right?!

It’s spooky season so I’ve changed my fishing bobber in Stardew, and hung out in the cemetery with Abigail for a while. With some clay.

Just one game bought in the Steam sale so far: Astrologaster! It’s 70% off and looks like so much fun (plus it’s set in Shakespeare’s London, and as a history nerd this is perfect for me 😅).
So, what have you been snapping up?
