🎉 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.
January can feel a little quiet after the festive rush, and Cast n Chill is the perfect game to ease gently back into the real world again. With its beautiful pixel art, calm fishing mechanics, and no pressure progression, it encourages you to slow down, take a breath, and enjoy a few peaceful moments at your own pace. Whether you’re playing for ten minutes or an hour, it’s a lovely, gentle way to unwind and settle into the new year.
