Please pray for me, because committing to a monthly cozy games round-up is anxiety-inducing. HA But here we go!
Cozy games release a mile-a-minute and I do my best to cover what I can. I want to shoutout as many cozy games as possible, even if I don’t get a chance to play them myself.
So, here’s a general roundup of cozy new releases that I have my eye on:
1. Einstein’s Cats – Released 31 Mar, 2025
Yes. Yesssssssss. This is exactly the kind of cozy cat chaos I love diving into. For when your brain wants a workout… but also a nap in a sunbeam.
Get ready to wrangle logic puzzles and an army of adorably picky cats in Einstein’s Cats, a delightfully cozy brain-teaser that’s all about feline preferences and the art of deduction. Think: “Professor Layton, but fluffier.”
You’ll be sorting cats into their favorite boxes, beds, and plant pots based on wonderfully quirky clues like “Calico cats hate being down low,” or “Mittens is definitely not a white cat.” Each puzzle is like a tiny cat-themed riddle, and every solved level feels like a gentle pat on the head for your brain. It’s challenging—but in that chill, sip-your-tea-and-think-it-through kind of way.
What makes it purr-fect:
- A cat for every occasion: Black cats, white cats, cats in hats, cats in bows… you get the idea. This game is bursting with feline personality.
- Over 100 puzzles: From cozy cafés to dreamy greenhouses to outer space (yes, really), there’s a whole world of relaxing logic puzzles to explore.
- Adorable hand-drawn art: Everything looks like it belongs in a paper craft scrapbook—because it kind of does!
- Sticker-book fun! As you solve puzzles, you’ll unlock a ton of charming stickers to use in your very own customizable scrapbook scene. It’s the cat-themed creative break you didn’t know you needed.
- Steam Deck friendly: Play it curled up on the couch, handheld-style. Fully supported and super cozy on the go.
It’s solo, it’s sweet, it’s full of gentle brain-tickling joy—and yes, it has so many cats. Still not enough cats? Don’t worry. The devs thought of that. There are more. And even more. You’re covered. So go ahead—pour yourself a warm drink, cozy up, and start untangling the great cat conundrums of our time.
2. Artisan Story – 28 Mar, 2025
Artisan Story is your invitation to craft a life filled with creativity, adventure, and a little monster mischief. Fresh out of the Artisan Academy, you and your twin sibling open a workshop on Clover Islands—part artisan studio, part fantasy farm, and part monster ranch. Your dream? To become the greatest artisan in the world. Your tools? A forge, a recipe book, and a whole lot of adorable dungeon creatures.
Artisan Story highlights:

- Dynamic life sim elements: Farm fantasy crops, build relationships, and shape your own story as you rise through the artisan ranks.

Whether you’re planting magical herbs or coaxing a shy dungeon slime into becoming your crafting buddy, Artisan Story is all about doing things your own way—and enjoying the journey as much as the destination.
