🎉 Cozy Game of the Month - A Relaxing Indie Game Spotlight
Each month, I highlight a game I’ve truly connected with, whether it’s a new release, a hidden gem, or a cozy classic I’m only just discovering.
February is usually grey, wet, and slow, which makes it the perfect time for a game like Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge. As frogs are my favourite animal, this one immediately stood out to me, and it ended up being a really comforting way to spend a rainy afternoon. Discovering new frog patterns, watching them appear around the wetlands, and decorating the refuge at a relaxed pace is quietly satisfying. It’s a gentle, cozy creature collector that encourages you to slow down, take your time, and build a thriving, frog filled wetland.
