Overview

Solo developer Adam Stormhardt of Melbourne-based Parasol Corp has seen significant interest in his upcoming title, Cozy Game Restoration, which has surpassed 400,000 wishlists on Steam. The game is a retro-themed cleaning and collecting simulator where players restore damaged video game cartridges from the 1980s through the early 2000s by removing dust, grime, and adhesive residue.

Following a successful playtest in May and a high-performing demo during the June Steam Next Fest, the game is scheduled to launch on November 4 or 5, 2026, for Windows and macOS via Steam, with verified compatibility for the Steam Deck. The base price is set at $14.99 USD.
