      Terrarium is a PC game that was recently released on January 10th, 2025. I came across this game on the Cozy Gamer group on Facebook. I instantly fell in love with the graphics, style, and premise of the game.  In this game, you decorate different bottle terrariums. That's it. Super simple. I LOVE games like that and have made several terrariums in my life, but now I get to enjoy doing them virtually! You get 8 slots to create with, and unlock several additional items as you play.     While making terrariums in real life is an amazing experience, it can get pricey at times. I've made one out of a Pokeball, one with flowers I've dried, and several different terrariums for when I raised Isopods and now for my 3 Hermit Crabs.       As I said, they can get expensive to make, especially if it comes to involving real critters. This game is an amazing alternative to pricey terrariums, with a price tag of only $3.99! Better yet, Terrarium ...

     Stray Cats in a Cozy Town is a super cute hidden item game where your goal is to find all the kitties hidden around town. You can also search for water buckets to make sure the cats all stay hydrated. This game took me about an hours to complete (there's ALOT of cats).      This game is free to play on STEAM, but does have a paid DLC called Night Lights, where all the proceeds go to helping stray cats. The DLC is about $2.00, so for skipping Starbucks for even just 1 day, you can help a stray kitty AND get a absolutely adorable game! Overall, this game may not have much to it, with being a find it game, but it is a treasured addition to the hidden cats game genre! There are so many hidden cat games out there that it has become its own full genre now. Most are free to play, with paid DLCs or additional content. It's a genre that I hadn't been 100% sold on at the start, but the more I've been playing them, the more they have grown on me, especially when ...

  https://shawcat.itch.io/sketchy-individuals My husband and I came across this game when we saw it pop up in a YouTube video. We watched through the first level before we both realized we wanted to play it. It strongly reminded me of the game Fingered, which I've reviewed in an earlier post. In this game, you play as a police sketch artist, tasked with drawing the criminals described by their victims. Don't worry, there's no actual drawing involved haha. You go through each description, picking the option that best fits with what the victim says, then looking at the line up to best match your drawing. There are 10 levels, each progressively getting harder and harder. What bothered me the most was that it didn't tell you if you got the person right or wrong at the end of each level. At the end of the game, you find out how many you got wrong and how many you got right. The whole playthrough took me about 15 - 20 minutes in total, so relatively short, but lots of fun! Th...

  Broken Shell is a game with a to-be-determined release date. You play as Mr. Hermit Crab, following the story of him and his wife, Mrs. Hermit Crab. The story begins with the couple meeting in a little coral field, when you accidentally crack your beloved wife's shell. She's very upset, but you are able to make her feel better by giving her a flower. From there you solve puzzles to progress the story, helping other adorable characters along the way. One of my favorite characters was Blob fish! The art style is what originally drew me in. I'm a sucker for cutesy, colorful artwork like the devs used for this game. I searched for hermit crab games, because my husband and I adopted 3 precious hermit crabs yesterday. Wyn, Riv'n, and Vesper and we are absolutely in love with them! Since they're my gaming buddies, I wanted to play a game that was about hermit crabs. Unfortunately, there's not very many hermit crab games, but with Broken Shell coming out, I can...

  Hey guys! I'm sorry for such a long hiatus, but what better way to welcome the new year than with a new review! Today I'll be looking at Little Kitty, Big City, a game that I painfully underestimated. Sorry little kitty, I shouldn't have doubted you. I saw a bunch of raving reviews for this game, but in screenshots and gameplay I saw, it didn't seem that great. However, I eventually gave in and tried it. I'm so glad I did! You play as this sweet kitty and go on a massive adventure! Your story starts at home, like most stories do, sunbathing in your favorite spot. You doze off and, unfortunately, roll off the rooftop. Thankfully, you're a cat! You land on your feet, but you're all the way down on the street. Looking up at the massive building, you know you have to get back up. You meet a crow, who is like a guide for you, as well as a variety of other character like a family of ducks, multiple other cats, and even a raccoon scientist! You have to collect fi...
