Picture this: a game that’s not just a game but a true escape from whatever stress you’re under.
That’s Sky for you. With its mesmerizing graphics and a cozy storyline, you’re in for a treat.
The realms of Sky are downright breathtaking. And the bonus: you can play alone or with a friend. It’s the perfect remedy after a day that feels like an endless Monday. So, buckle up and get ready to unwind in the peaceful skies.

Good Pizza, Great Pizza
Alright, let’s talk about the very popular Good Pizza, Great Pizza – the virtual pizza maker! It will either help you with your stress or make you more stressed out but in any case it’s a fun game to play!
This game is a restaurant simulator where, as you can imagine, you make pizzas.
Take orders, knead that dough, and watch your shop turn into the coziest joint in town. The art style is just cute and cozy, and it’s easy to spend time on it without feeling bored. Fair warning: playing may induce serious pizza cravings.
Recommended for: Anyone who likes pizzas and restaurant games.
Good Coffee, Great Coffee
Some of you might already know, but you can now also play their new game: Good Coffee, Great Coffee which is essentially very similar to GPGP but with a coffee shop! Super cute & cozy (and a little more complex in my opinion) ♥
It has the same art style as Good Pizza Great Pizza and it’s a point that I personally love because I really liked the way GPGP looked. 🙂
Harvest Town
If you really wish you could play Stardew Valley but don’t have the money for it or just can’t purchase anything on the app store, this one is for you! Harvest Town is a cute farming simulation game with pixel art style.
You’ll really spend A LOT – trust me – of time on it if you like this kind of little simulation games. I feel like it is a clear copy of Stardew to be honest, and takes a LOT of inspiration from it – like many farming sim games, but if you really don’t have the money for it, Harvest Town is the way to go.
Note: if you think the map is too big, I suggest you complete the bike quest or get yourself a rideable pet! ♥
Recommended for: Cozy farming sim lovers ♥
Usagi Shima
Turn an abandoned island into a cozy bunny paradise in Usagi Shima! This relaxing idle game lets you attract adorable bunnies, decorate your island, and unwind at your own pace.
No cash grabs, no grinding. Just a stress-free experience where you check in, say hi to your fluffy visitors, and place cute decorations (without needing real money!). With its charming hand-drawn art and wholesome vibe, it’s the perfect game to relax with.

Boing Boing Animals
Boing Boing Animals is a SUPER cute mobile game in which you raise cute little animals. Basically, it’s your modern tamagochi cozy pet simulation game.
The game is super relaxing and fun. I love going back to it to just continue my collection without too much thought. So it’s game you go back to from time to time to grow and collect new pets. (there are over 70 different types of animals ♥)

Purrfect Tale
Purrfect Tale is a casual adventure game that probably A LOT of people know about. If you like following a story and playing mini games on the side, I think Purrfect Tale might be a match for you.
In the story, you’re a student who meets a stray cat that actually happens to be a boy (yes, a real boy). Then you basically have to live your life where you cook, decorate, raise animals… a bunch of things really. The game is quite dense but really well made.
Recommended for : The story lovers (& cats)
Preserve
Preserve is a peaceful and pretty puzzle game in which you build entire ecosystems through placement of cards. It is free, and also free of ads! But when you choose the free version, the content is quite limited – but still super nice and chill, so I definitely recommend it.
It has nice music, looks good, and feels relaxing and rewarding. ♥
Love is… in Small Things
Love is… In Small Things is a hidden object game filled with emotions. If you’re looking for a moment during which you can truly relax and have a stress-free time just unwinding, this is the game.
This moment will be a mix of watching beautiful original artwork and finding hidden pictures/objects. So just take a break from frustration and after a long day, and dive into this cozy moment ♥
I Love Hue
Love Hue is a cozy journey into colors.
Your goal is to arrange the colored tiles into perfectly ordered mosaics. If you like puzzle games and want to play something simple yet engaging, I Love Hue is the game made for you.
You probably won’t spend your day on it, but you will have a nice time.
