I've been pretty good this year and avoided flooding my Steam library with more games I don't have time to play, but Steam's latest themed sale got me. From now until April 6, Steam is running House and Home Fest. It's basically seven days of homey, cozy games that feel specifically targeted at me.
I'm basically a videogame realtor, and all about anything that lets me build, organize, or clean some semblance of a house. I've scrubbed the dirt off of countless rooftops and walls in PowerWash Simulator, and who knows how many permutations I've created of my idealized working space in My Dream Setup. God forbid I apply that energy to cleaning my own house.
If that sounds like you, then I've got a few cozy game recommendations worth checking out in Steam's House and Home Fest.
This one is a recent favorite, but I was smitten with the cute critters of Creature Kitchen when I wrote about the demo a month ago. I've completed the full game since, and even went back for some achievement clean-up since I couldn't get enough of the creepy-cozy cooking sim.
It's a short game—it took me about six hours to finish everything, achievements included—but perfectly paced with just-difficult-enough puzzles and tons of weird little guys to befriend. I loved looking for clues to make snacks for the mice in my walls or the weird apparition in the pantry. They're pickier eaters than I would have expected, but once you figure it out, Creature Kitchen is a satisfying little puzzler.
💲 Price: $7.99/$6.39 | £6.69/£5.35✅ Has a demo
Look, I recently tried to replay the original PowerWash Simulator since I didn't finish all of its DLC, and I just can't go back to it after playing the sequel. Months later, I still stand by everything I outlined in my PowerWash Simulator 2 review, and feel the upgrades made in its sequel are just too good to handwave and go back to ol' faithful.
