Introduction
As the days grow shorter, and the nights grow colder we often find ourselves staying in more after summer’s end for more cozier pursuits. In a protective act of avoiding the cold (and other people) we tend to hang out inside to read books, cook good food, crochet, and play cozy video games.
There’s something very enjoyable about snuggling up under the covers or in a cozy room to play a game that warms you from the inside out. If you’re as excited as I am for fall then get ready for five game recommendations that will have you staying in for a fun evening of wholesome gaming entertainment. So, sit back, relax, and keep on reading for 5 games to play this fall.

Potion Craft
Potion Craft is a simplistic looking title with a fun and entertaining take on the cozy gaming genre. The experience of playing Potion Craft mirrors the feeling of being a kid and throwing random stuff into a bucket to create “potions” except much more sophisticated. The premise of Potion Craft is that you have just arrived in a new town and have elected yourself as the new town alchemist.
Your goal is to serve your customers by taking orders for potions to solve people’s problems. The trick here is that they won’t tell you what they need outright so you need to create a potion that you think will bring a solution to each issue. If you’re looking for a problem-solving game that feels like freestyle cooking where you measure with your heart then I recommend checking out Potion Craft.
Sticky Business
Ever dreamed of starting your own business? Well now you can make this a semi reality with a game called Sticky Business. Start your own at home sticker business where you pack orders, create stickers, and learn about the customers who have taken a liking to your stock.
Sticky Business is a comforting experience that relies on repetitive gameplay and a sense of making connections through the products that you customers buy. As you go through the game you learn about the patrons of your online store who love your stickers and about their lives. If running your own business while making a difference in people’s lives feels like a gaming premise you’re on board with then you should check out Sticky Business.
Witchy Life Story
What’s more fall than witches? Maybe being a witch that was sent to a small country town to prepare for the annual fall festival? Witchy Life Sim is a witchy life sim (clever I know) where you are sent to the town of Flora to help prepare for their annual harvest festival.
You play as a witch apprentice of the well-known (and snobby) family known as the Von Teasels. You’re sent to this town by your grandmother, the matriarch of the family, as your last chance to prove that you are not a failure to the rest of your extended family (is it Thanksgiving already?).
Within the next two weeks it is your job to act as the town’s temporary witch and support each townie in their endeavors to make this fall festival a success. If helping a town thrive with your magical abilities and empathetic flair sounds like something up your alley, then you should check out Witchy Life Sim.
Fields of Mistria
Fields of Mistria is a fun and wholesome game that guarantees hours of cozy fun for those nights when you want to drink tea and binge a game at home. You play as an adventurer who has answered the call to come to the town of Mistria to help rebuild after a devastating earthquake. Farm, fish, mine, and magic your way through this exciting adventure as you support this town of interesting people in their endeavor to restore their home to its former glory.
This game is a fun and relaxing experience that does not leave you with a sense of boredom. Fields of Mistria is also a wonderful game for newer players of the cozy gaming genre as the developers did an amazing job of walking players through the game at a reasonable pace without overwhelming them or making the game boring. Whether you’re new to gaming or are a seasoned cozy gamer check out Fields of Mistria for a fun magical adventure this fall.
Coral Island
Not quite ready to let go of summer? Coral Island has your back. In this game you play as a wanna-be famer who has moved to Coral Island to start a new life. Due to a recent and tragic oil spill the island’s town ranking has plummeted to the point of almost no return. Tourists have fled the town leaving Coral Island vulnerable to oil companies that want to take advantage.
As you make this tropical oasis your home you venture out into the world of Coral Island to rebuild this place back to its once pristine condition. Raise cattle, clean the ocean, meet giants, and maybe date a mermaid as you make your way through this tropical cozy adventure. Extend your summer by taking a trip to Coral Island and experiencing the wonder of this beautiful game.
