Our Story

Cozyverse Hearth emerged from a quiet evening in 2023, when our founder Sarah found herself scrolling endlessly through game libraries, searching for something that would help her unwind rather than amp her up. Frustrated by the lack of thoughtful curation for gentle gaming experiences, she began keeping a personal journal of games that brought her peace.

What started as handwritten notes about cozy farming sims and meditative puzzlers soon became a shared Google doc among friends, then a small blog, and eventually the comprehensive platform you see today. We realized there was an entire community of players seeking the same thing: games that nurture rather than challenge, that invite rather than demand.

Today, Cozyverse Hearth serves thousands of players who've discovered that gaming can be a form of self-care, a gentle ritual that fits seamlessly into a mindful lifestyle. We're proud to champion indie developers who prioritize player well-being and to foster a community where slow, intentional play is celebrated.
