“It's colorful, sweet and cozy, but also over in 18 minutes with no challenge. It really depends on what you're expecting out of a “puzzle” game. A gentle experience, if you know what you’re receiving.”

$7.99

Recommended March 22

“Pilot a blind submarine through a blood ocean, snapping photos while tension slowly crushes you. Short, unsettling, and all about the atmosphere. Just don’t expect clear answers (nor easy navigation).”

Recommended March 19

“A cozy tetromino cat puzzle game where you fit, spin and cuddle adorable fluffballs. Nothing revolutionary, but still great for a couple of hours. Just be ready for the grindy achievement at the end!”

Free

“Grab your rifle and start hunting rubber ducks in a variety of brightly colored 3D environments. Game is a delightful alternative to traditional hidden object titles and you cannot beat the price!”

“The Promise Tree of Alden is a classic walking sim focused on remorse over a promise broken. Features amazing visuals, excellent monologue, and an interesting story. Very classic Tonguc work here.”

$6.99

Recommended March 17

“project_Structure_01 is a mega structure walking sim with some liminal spaces sensibilities. Features a sprawling, multi-level adventure with a cool enemy-free horror story included. Worth a look.”

$3.99

Recommended March 15

“It's pretty lovely and chill, as long as you don't mind constantly clicking square by square. So, room for improvement? Yes! Still worth trying the demo? Also yes. But yeah, overall, relaxing though.”

$2.99

Recommended March 15

“Chill Beach Simulator is an idle program with some dynamic events and weather, plus a day/night cycle to spruce things up. Don't expect a game. Rather, it's simply vibes for when you want to chill.”

$14.99

Recommended March 14

“Cutscenes after finishing each level, with a variety of effects, is part of this indie's novelty. As a non-rage, single-screen platformer it has some rough spots, which will hopefully be patched.”

$1.99

Recommended March 12

“Cats, trolls, keys, and arrows! A quick hidden-object hunt with solid QoL features and 3 compact levels. Fun concept, but the 10-minute runtime makes the price a tough sell. Curious? Full review here!”

$2.99

Recommended March 7

“A penguin with a pug-shaped washer cleans cardboard towns in 10 levels. Cozy relaxing vibes, simple controls and lots of grime. It won't change your mind on repetitive cleaning games though.”

$2.99

Recommended March 7

“A visual novel mixed with a Rooms type puzzle game where the puzzles are very difficult but due to the clever hint and simplify system, it should be accessible to all. ”

$1.99

Recommended March 6

“A funny but very short graphic novel that can be clicked through in well under an hour. Join Detective Johnson and intern Billy as they bumble their way to find a missing hamster.”

$2.99

Recommended March 6

“A pixel-art raccoon search that is easy, but really enjoyable. If you don't mind the achievement clutter, the very short runtime and the price tag, it's a very fun twist on animal camouflage. ”

$9.99

Recommended March 6

“Pieced Together is a relaxing tale of friendship throughout the years told through puzzles, activities and collectable stickers.”

Free To Play

Recommended March 4

“3 FREE levels full of chaotic dinosaurs, wild costumes, meme references & surprisingly tricky hiding spots. With 100 dinos per map, mini games and 5 DLCs if you need more, what else could you ask for?”

$1.99

Recommended March 1

“Short, eerie puzzle collection where you try to discover why locals lost their faces. Not much of a story here, but the ambiance and enigmas are great for creepy/cozy lovers. Super accessible and easy”

$2.99

Recommended February 28

“Beautiful game, with beautiful artwork and story. It has 8 endings. All your choices have consequences, and they'll shape the main character's personality.”

$2.99

Recommended February 20

“Creepy surreal HOG sequel with stunning hand-drawn art. Strange and uncanny, but 100% worth it. Come find dozens of moths in all 7 levels, exploring more of Alice psyche after she escaped Wonderland”

$4.99

Recommended February 17

“Fine, playable solo passion project whose sim-cade flight model is easy to pickup. Has repetitive gameplay, a genteel atmosphere & linear plane upgrades. Would benefit from QoL on a number of fronts.”

$8.99

$0.99

$9.99

Recommended February 6

“Roll dice, make plans, and watch them painfully implode. A great pirate-themed roguelike with Balatro's brains, Inscryption's eerie vibes, and zero respect for your confidence whatsoever.”

$14.99

Recommended January 30

“An adventure 2d puzzle platformer with a funny narrator who cracks dark humor jokes. You can play solo or local co-op, and must choose three out of the seven available characters in each run. ”

$14.99

“Decent match 3 puzzle game with nice visuals and pleasing sounds. Casual mode and puzzle mode where strategy is needed to succeed. Addictive and fun. Definitely check it out. ”

$3.99

Recommended January 21

“Hate and love it at the same time: a very niche game that won't be for everyone, just like the store page promised. Dystopian, tedious sorting. I am rooting for more keyboard layouts in the future”

$0.99

Recommended January 21

“It is shorter than previous entries with only 100 cats in the base level, but it's good for a small, relaxing and strangely pastel sci-fi feline hunt! 🩷🤍🩵”

$9.99

Recommended January 19

“There's better out there, but also worse. Overall all very 50/50 as it has ups and downs. Pretty much it boils down to whether you find an editor and generator worth it if you’re considering this game”

$7.99

Recommended January 19

“A ratmospheric masterpiece that really nails the rat trapped in a maze fantasy and janks it up to dystopian levels of realness…”

$9.99

Recommended January 18

“Somewhere between a lot of words I’ve never heard of and accidentally finding words, learning a few more and possibly forgetting about them again, this is a really fun Scrabble-based incremental!”

$11.99

Recommended January 15

“Despite having different difficulties, with the colored ones being easier than the black-and-white ones, the puzzles are solid. It has a lot of customizations, and you can play it however you want.”

$24.99

Recommended January 10

“The continuation of the first game, play as both King Eryk and Queen Aurelea to save the kingdom, aid your friend, and find a cure for your sick son.”

$4.99

“There are some nice moments to enjoy in Kinsfolk and it is a relaxing, short, narrative experience, but ultimately it was nothing new and the story felt a little underdeveloped. ”

$3.99

Recommended January 7

“Cozy tile-based puzzle about reshaping paths and memories. Gentle levels, cute pixel art, generous hints, and zero pressure. Best enjoyed for its puzzles and calm mood. ✨”

$9.99

$0.99

$0.99

Recommended December 31, 2025

“Quite a challenging hidden object game based around Christmas and The New Year with fun jingles and festive vibes. Some of the cat shapes were bordering on the unrealistic but lots of fun anyway. ”

$2.99

Recommended December 26, 2025

“Far Fishing is a fairly chill fishing RPG with a silly premise that manages to be cozy while also offering a mild challenge as the game progresses. Enjoyable fishing mechanic. Worth a look.”

$5.99

Recommended December 22, 2025

“LiDAR Exploration Program is a walking sim with a rarely explored premise, namely LiDAR scanning to reveal everything in this world. Because it's pitch black otherwise. Definitely worth a look.”

$5.99
