10 Best Spooky Cozy Games This Season (2025 Edition)

Have a Nice Death is a 2D action roguelite game where you play as Death. Death is fed up with corporate life and has to show his out-of-control employees whose boss. Since Death can’t die you can play the levels over and over again, and just button mash your way through, so I guess it’s kinda cozy… right? OK, I’m pushing it with this one, but if you don’t mind a bit of combat it’s worth a play this Halloween season.

Have A Nice Death is available on Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox.

Cabernet is a 2D narrative RPG set in a 19th century Eastern European inspired world, with a modern twist. Guide Liza, a young vampire in her new unlife among the unsuspecting townsfolk. Will you retain your humanity or descend further into the horror you have become?

This point and click adventure game has multiple endings, paper-doll aesthetics, and although it’s marked as horror I didn’t think it was any more horror than Twilight. It does have themes some may find disturbing so please read the warnings before purchasing.

The creepy cozy vibes that are perfect for fans of Strange Antiquities or REKA. Created by a UK-based independent studio focusing on creating emotional, story-driven games.

Cabernet is available on Steam, Nintendo switch, PlayStation, Xbox, iOS and Android

NEW RELEASE! Keeper is an atmospheric puzzle adventure in which a long-forgotten lighthouse is awakened and, joined by a spirited seabird, it embarks upon a heartening tale of unlikely companionship, and an unexpected journey into realms beyond understanding.

This wordless and weird game is basically a walking sim with a few light puzzles, but the main pull is its beautiful art style. The environments are head-spinningly gorgeous! It’s just unusual enough for it to be classed as a creepy cozy game for Halloween this year.

Keeper is available on Steam and Xbox

Agatha Christie – Death on the Nile is the second title from Microids Studio Lyon, following the critically acclaimed Agatha Christie – Murder on the Orient Express.

In Death on the Nile, a peaceful cruise turns into a nightmare when a murder shatters the tranquillity of the voyage. Fortunately, renowned detective Hercule Poirot is on board. At the same time, a parallel investigation led by private detective Jane Royce takes players from London to Mallorca, New York, and finally to Egypt. The two storylines converge in Abu Simbel, where this dynamic investigative duo must solve a tangled case full of twists and intrigue.

This isn’t just a simple retelling of the original novel. New layers, secrets, and unexpected turns have been added to surprise even the most devoted Agatha Christie fans.

Every day, you will welcome new customers into the cosy, candle-lit interior of your shop. Their needs are unpredictable and often alarming, but never dull!

It all begins when you receive a letter from a distant aunt informing you of your inheritance of her tearoom. Serve your customers their daily cuppa and treat at The Tearoom, but be aware… Sometimes you may be asked to provide morally questionable assistance to accomplish their dubious deeds.
