🎉 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.

March’s pick is Pieced Together, a gentle narrative scrapbooking game about friendship, growing up, and the difficult choices that shape us. Told across six thoughtful chapters with light puzzles and creative page-building, it’s a heartfelt experience you can settle into for a quiet evening, and one that lingers long after you close the scrapbook.
