Video Games that Caught our Eye

Cat Cafe Manager

I think a Cat Litter stat of 0 is going to be a problem.

I would love to own my own cat cafe, but it’s just not practical for me. However, in Cat Cafe Manager, I can take on all of the responsibilities of owning my own cat cafe without any of the risk! Cat Cafe Manager tasks you with rebuilding your grandmother’s cat cafe and renovating it all while becoming friends with visiting cats and discovering mysteries.

Love, Ghostie

Love, Death + Ghosts

Love, Ghostie, is a wholesome ghost match-making game where you navigate and guide the relationships between a bunch of characters who share a manor! You can gift items, set up on dates, and learn each of their love stories. It’s cute and a lot of fun!

Sticky Business: Book of Shadows

Witchy woo woo, sticker glue glue

A DLC for the game Sticky Business, which is all about creating and selling little stickers, Sticky Business: Book of Shadows adds in more cozy, witchy vibes, with more stickers and bits of story that follow a blend of magic and fantasy. It’s a very stylish addition to a cozy, wholesome game.

Tamagotchi Paradise

I’m back, and I’m 50,000 babies… that need looking after.

Tamagotchi Paradise is a new version of the nostalgic toy, shown off in depth earlier this year at MCM Comicon London. It now has a pre-order and release date! The Tamagotchi world is bigger, with tons of different characters, and you can zoom in and out using the toggle to view more of it. It’s so much fun!

Disney Stitch Dinner Party Flower Shaped Keychain

Whilst you identify as a foodie, I personally identify with snacks.

Stitch is appearing everywhere these days, due in no small part to the recently released live-action movie. These adorable, and quite cheap, key chains are really lovely. The inner character hangs on a little circle piece, meaning they spin and move around within the outer frame. I also really like the way they look.

THE MONSTERS

Threateningly cute, like, you know they’re planning something, but it’s gonna be really cute.

Am I a Labubu hater? Maybe. But, these pastel, beautiful little monsters are the best ones I have seen and have almost tempted me into getting one! All of the options from this range have a nice, pastel effect: Perfect cozy vibes.

Jellycat Experience

Watch out, they’re gonna’ macarun for it!

I just got back from Paris, where a few of my friends went to the Jellycat Experience! This can be done in London, New York, Paris, Shanghai - and each have their own exclusive Jellycat that you can purchase. While absolutely adorable on their own, the real experience is that the store staff act out preparing your Jelly Cat as a dish before packaging them up so you can take them home.

Video Games that Caught our Eye

Instants

Scrapbook Challenge

Instants is a puzzle game where you put together a family scrapbook in order to create a sort of timeline of your life. As you string together different pictures, and add all sorts of stickers, you will learn about your family. It’s a cute, cozy game that I previously previewed for Indie Games Plus, but is now out on Steam.

Big Hops

What would you do with your really long tongue?

Big Hops is a really fun, open-world puzzle game where you play as a frog with a long tongue. The puzzle element comes in that you’re able to use your tongue to grab objects and move them around. The story is cute, the movement is sleek, and the entire game feels fun. You can currently play a demo on Steam ahead of it’s release.

Camper Van: Make it Home

Unvanning

Camper Van: Make it Home is an organising game, where you need to place all of the items from your camper van into the right place. There are a lot of items, but there’s no time limit to placing them back in where they belong. It’s got a really cozy aesthetic to it. I got the chance to preview the game for Indie Games Plus, but its now out on Steam (along with a free demo).

Stuff that feels Cozy

Moon Headphone Stand

Snug as a bug in a plug

This Moon Headphone Stand comes in a few different colors, all of which really fit the cozy vibe. There are some versions that simply hold your headset, with a small tray at the bottom for trinkets, or versions that can also hold your controller when it’s not in use.

Kawaii Cake Clicker Fidget

Is it cake? Can I press it?

Our household is a big fan of fidget toys. With the popularity of 3D printers we’re seeing more varieties and designs of them. These Kawaii Cake Clicker Fidgets were everywhere at MCM Comicon London - they are tiny, adorable cakes that can be clicked, much like a click-y keyboard.

Gamer Pusheen Surprise Plush

My pusheen has a Game Boy in it!

Pusheen has released a set of Gamer Pusheen Surprise Plush, which are all inspired by different gamer things, like phones, consoles, and controllers. There are eight different ones, and you won’t know which one you’ve got until you open the box (surprise!) but they’re all incredibly cozy.

Pick Your Own Strawberries

Ripe n’ juicy

If you live in England, it’s actually the perfect time to find a local Pick Your Own Strawberry farm near you. Not only do these pick your own farms work great for Instagram photos, but they also are very fun to actually pick from. We then use our strawberries to make jam. We go to Cammas Hall for our strawberries, which also has a fantastic cafe and farm shop, for a lovely, cozy, relaxed morning.

You might be asking yourself where we were last Monday. Well, in all honesty, I was enjoying the UK bank holiday and having a COZY day of my own. But, now I’m back, baby!

Video Games that Caught our Eye

Is This Yours?

Toucan play at that game (single player only)

Is This Yours? is a free-to-play mobile game (iOS / Android) that has you sorting through item-filled boxes to fish out the lost property of various animals. It’s simple, bite-sized, and has one chapter at the moment; An airport. There is a zen mode that’s quite relaxing to work through. I reviewed the game for Indie Games Plus.

Cattle Country

Gang on the way to the club be like…

If you are looking for another Stardew Valley-like, Cattle Country has just launched on PC and Console, and is currently discounted for launch. It has you starting off in a small town, mining, fishing, and all that good stuff. You’ve got quests, LOTS of items to collect, and tons of land to explore. It’s not gripped me as much as Stardew did, but I am enjoying the game.

SUMMERHOUSE

Fun fact, A Bug’s Life was filmed round the back of this house.

SUMMERHOUSE is one of those games that feels like a toy to me. There isn’t any sort of goals or timers, but instead the freedom to build stunning little homes, in a variety of places. It’s tranquil, cozy, and fun to create these whimsical places.

Stuff that feels Cozy

Pie Backpack

Remove the purse to bring Pacman to life!

Now, this does feel a little cottage-core when it comes to it’s cozy level. This pie backpack comes in three types; Cherry, Apple and Blueberry. I think it’s such a cute design and the removable slice that acts as a little purse? Amazing.

Jellyfish Babies Crochet Pattern

A smack of jellyfish (yes that is the collective noun).

If you want to start a new hobby or pick up one you may have been neglecting, this free crochet pattern for jellyfish babies looks so adorable! Maybe it’s their colors, maybe it’s the beady eyes, maybe it’s just that they are tiny.

Timber Town Board Game

It's goin' down, I'm yellin'… WATCH OUT THAT TREE IS GOING TO FALL!

Timber Town is a two-player drafting board game where tiles float down the river, ready for you to grab them up and build up your town. It was recently showcased at UKGE before it’s release, but you can pre-order it for shipment next month!

Geckout of my shop!

The Museum of Senses is a very unique museum to explore.

If you want to start journaling, but journaling about your day just isn’t cutting it, you can use the Cozy Gamer Journal download to create your own gaming journal and document the games that you play.

The whole place feels like its own little unique world that you can spend your evening at — away from drinking and loud music — and just enjoy the vibes of something much more cozy.
