Announced during the madness of gamescom, Hozy is a game that caught our eye, offering “stress-free, cozy room renovation”, and it’s got a playtest happening now.
The publisher says: “This impeccably relaxing trailer details fresh content being added to Hozy’s playtest on Steam today, including one new level to enjoy. Declutter with new items to discover while you paint, scrape, clean, and more! Get cozy in Hozy, transforming dusty, neglected spaces into warm, welcoming places!”
So we won’t tease any further, check out the trailer below:
After things go south in the big city, you return to your quiet hometown. Once lively, it now feels faded and forgotten. But in the stillness, you find something unexpected — a new passion. Room by room, apartment by apartment, you clean, paint, and restore what was lost. Not just homes, but memories and stories. Not just buildings, but the whole community.
Immerse yourself in the cozy atmosphere. Every small action delivers a micro-dopamine hit and a tiny “aha!” moment. Plants sway, music players can be turned on, and trash realistically tumbles in and out of the bin. Open the window to hear the natural sounds louder and invite the wind to play with dust particles.
Hozy is about slowing down. There are no timers, scores, penalties, and absolutely no stress. Just you, your tools, and the simple joy of making spaces beautiful again. Whether you’re wiping windows, choosing the perfect wallpaper, or placing a sofa, it’s all about that satisfying flow.
The playtest has recently had a new level added, so there’ a good reason to jump in now. Publisher tinyBuild says: “Dive into a tiny NYC-inspired apartment previously occupied by a brainiac who adored math and physics, but later rented out to a hoarder who turned the place into a dump! Breathe life back into this desolate den and make it a comfy corner where new memories can be made.
The development team has been keeping up with player testing feedback, introducing quality-of-life improvements since the initial playtest like placing items outside of level boundaries (and into the lost & found) for later use, new control hints for interactions, and new sound effects for different surfaces!”
Hozy doesn’t have a release date yet, but is coming to PC via Steam.
