Fanatical is offering a charity bundle that benefits Safe In Our World:
https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/safe-in-our-world-charity-bundle-2026
22 games offered; the vast majority seem to be cozy-related games of which Peak is probably the most well-known one.
To add on to this: stock on the Safe in Our World bundles specifically is limited, and they usually sell out within the first 24 hours. So, if you’re interested in this, it’s better to get it sooner rather than later.
I remember last year, it sold out within hours. Is there a way to see specific time stamps on old Tildes comments? Because when you posted it back then, it sold out by the time I commented the same day. To be fair, it had a LOT of fairly popular games, including Psychonauts, Moonlighter, TOEM, and Little Kitty, Big City.
This year's lineup doesn't seem to have as many big games so it probably won't sell out as fast, but if anyone is interested, buy it now! None of the games interest me enough to spring on it this time around, but I will note I've heard lots of praise for Winter Burrow among the cozy gaming community.
Not sure if it's possible on mobile, but, on a computer, if you hover over the date on a comment, it will show you the exact posting time.
My comment from last year was posted at 17:01:43, and yours was posted at 22:21:18, so there was roughly a five hour gap between them.
Little Kitty, Big City was super cute, by the way! Definitely worth it.
Not sure if it qualifies, but I thought I'd mention that the action rpg soulslike Nioh 3 has a free limited time demo on Steam and for PS5. The demo covers the beginning of the game and it takes roughly five hours to play through the missions and a few more hours to explore the open world and do side missions, so there is a fairly good amount of content there. Once you are past the tutorial, you can also co-op with a friend or two.
The full game comes out next week and the save file should carry over. That said, the price of the game at launch is certainly not save point material.
I played through the demo and quite liked it. I loved Nioh 2 so I'm happy to see that it's still Nioh, just with fresh new takes on things. It seems a bit easier than previous games in the series, but I'm curious to see how the systems develop as the game progresses.
If you enjoy soulslikes like Dark Souls or Elden Ring and/or action rpgs like Ninja Gaiden, Ghost of Tsushima or Bayonetta, you might like Nioh.
Free on Epic this week:
Definitely Not Fried Chicken
It looks like it's basically a Los Pollos Hermanos management game where you take the role of Gus Fring. :P

So I like to check the Steam DB for free games, and right now there's an indie tactics RPG named Magellania available for free this weekend. Seems like it might be a real hidden gem since it has 33 reviews that are all positive. And honestly, the trailer has this charming quality to it compared to a lot of the games that are given away.
Figured I'd give it a shoutout since I like supporting indie devs when I can. Looking up the developer, Magellania has a (spiritual?) sequel called Juno 06, and they're working on their third game now. So who knows? Maybe they can get some new fans here!
I saw that too, but it's not my kinda game.
But I wanted to state that on this note: if you use Discord, you can add the SteamDB (https://discord.com/invite/steamdb) Free Promo bot to chat in your chitchat or other [diverted] channel to notify you of stuff like this!
(Sorry, don't ask me how because I totally forget haha.)
