This week in Cozy games · updated Fri Oct 23 2026

Cotton City launched an alpha for Windows, offering a casual city-building experience wrapped in a yarn-like aesthetic, complete with classic SimCity-style zoning and services, plus a Creative mode for those who prefer to skip budget management.

Its key feature is a flexible placement system allowing furniture to be rotated, scaled, recolored, and moved freely without a grid, with new residents arriving to share local history as the town grows. Both titles emphasize flexible customization and relaxed play.
