Tideborne Haven is a cozy pixel art farming sim that takes place on a fragile, dying island. You arrive by boat to find the shoreline polluted, the reefs dying, the rainforest on the verge of collapse, and the local community, who are doing their best. You’re the new island caretaker, so your monumental job is to restore everything. Clean the beaches, remove invasive species, rehabilitate native animals, and more. On land, this game plays like a familiar farm sim. Build relationships with the locals, unlock upgrades, and rebuild a failing town!
Underwater, though, Tideborne Haven offers a unique experience. Beneath the waves, you’ll farm coral to restore it. Explore lovely kelp forests as you explore the ocean, and even find some shipwrecks and ancient ruins. It will take a lot of work to restore the island, of course. Balancing the water chemistry is vital. Breeding and releasing fish to bolster the underwater ecosystem is necessary. As is controlling algae growth, rescuing injured animals, and eliminating pests. Most important of all is finding out which of the townspeople are working with smugglers who aren’t interested in helping bring the island back to life. You could thwart their efforts, or perhaps even join them!
Tideborne Haven is currently on Kickstarter to raise money. Support the campaign to unlock things like merfolk romance, companion pets, animal journals, and more. You can find the game listed on Steam, where you can add it to your Wishlist, too. Meanwhile, check out the trailer!

Receive those quests from the townspeople, and learn about the history of the town as you get the work done. Earn helpful accessories to improve your abilities. Even buy upgrades and improvements on the skill tree to give your work a boost or automate processes.

In The Hawkers, your goal isn’t just to thrive. Your goal is to help keep your hometown from being swallowed up by the nefarious Mr. Bunny. The powerful businessman is buying up everything around you. You’ll need to not only turn a forgotten farm into a thriving agricultural empire while also building your own business and discovering who you are. Your family’s legacy is shrouded in a mystery that you’ll need to solve, too.
The Hawkers is a cozy farm sim where you grow crops, raise animals, and craft goods to sell. But the game is way more than that. Your choices and how you build your life in the town of Greenleaf matter. The effort you put into building your farm and business affects your story. Build your shop and design the shelves, choose the stock, manage profits, and expand as your clientele grows. Even upgrade tools to help out on the farm. Grow your connections with neighbors by listening to their stories and attending town events. They’re important pieces to your story, too.
What really makes The Hawkers shine is its adorable, handcrafted art style. Every character, item, and environment has been lovingly drawn by hand, giving the game a warm, personal feel that’s hard to resist. All work on this game is done by the solo developer, you can follow them on X here. From the gameplay systems to the visuals, everything has been created by one person, and you can feel that passion in every detail.
If you’re into relaxing gameplay, charming worlds, and supporting indie creators, this is definitely one to watch.
The Hawkers has no current release date as it is still in development. There will be a Kickstarter launching soon, though! Add it to your Steam Wishlist now, and look forward to possible Nintendo Switch and PlayStation releases after launch. I am also hosting a giveaway over on my X/Twitter!

Chef RPG is a beautiful culinary adventure set in a lovely pixel art world. You recently became the owner of a derelict restaurant called Le Sequoia, once managed by a world-famous chef. Even the town of White Ash Harbor has seen better days. Your job is to not only prove yourself as a chef and rocket Le Sequoia back to fame, but to restore White Ash Harbor, too. Get to know several fantastic characters and even fall in love. Hunt, fish, harvest, and buy ingredients to create the tastiest dishes around to prove yourself as a chef. You have big shoes to fill, after all!
This major Chef RPG update features some excellent general improvements and fixes, but it also includes so much more! For one, the player’s home has been overhauled. The house is located just past Le Sequoia, which is convenient! It’s not just for sleeping, though. You can also conduct culinary research there. Visit your kitchen and place the ingredients within the fridge. Once you have enough ingredients ready, use the central table to begin research. There are some specialized research facilities to unlock that will become extensions of your home. Sleep is necessary, but all of your culinary research will help you become a renowned chef.
Furthermore, there are new ingredient makers to use and qualities for the dishes you make. The Chocolate Maker and Soup Vat blueprints can now be unlocked from the new standard research tree. You can also unlock a Cheese Maker and Cream Churner through research. Making Cheese and Cream requires Milk, a new consumable (not an ingredient!) you can buy from shops and vending machines. Dishes you cook now have new qualities. There is Flavors and Temperature. These qualities will be determined by which ingredients you use, but only a few quests use them for now.
You’ll encounter the Sea Traders, boat-fairing shops, on certain days of the week in Chef RPG. Run (you can do that now!) down to the docks on Tuesdays to find the veggie seller and on Wednesdays for the junk seller. Saturdays and Sundays, you’ll find the SS Ambrose. This large trading ship has a furniture store where you’ll find new furniture items, a seed seller, an ingredients seller, and a rare items shop. Also aboard the SS Ambrose is the brand new romanceable character Sahim. Just note that the romance system is still a work in progress, but you can still get to know this tatted-up cutie. There are some new character quests you can complete that serve as the first part of their personal stories. You can check out the Steam news for details (with spoilers) on how to access those quests.
The Flavors Update was released today for everyone to play. Now is a great time to pick up Chef RPG and play through this lovely game! Pick it up today on Steam.
