Indie publisher Wholesome Games is hosting a massive Steam Sale on cozy indie games this week. The Wholesome Games Celebration offers discounts on a wide range of cozy games, sims, puzzlers, visual novels, and more, from now through August 13.

Some highlights of the sale:

Paralives (20% off) – an ambitious The Sims clone by an indie studio, released earlier this year via Early Access.

Planet Zoo Ultimate Edition (77% off) – grab the detailed zoo sim and years worth of DLC before the sequel arrives later this year.

Minami Lane (33% off) – beloved cozy sim has players managing their own quaint street corner.

Tiny Bookshop (25% off) – a cute shop sim where you travel to different scenic towns and areas.

Lost & Found Co. (20% off) – the ultimate hidden object adventure, starring a duck-turned-human.

Leafy Corner (20% off) – a just-released shop sim where you grow, decorate, and sell plants.

Discounty (40% off) – pixel art shop sim with a recently released free expansion.

Themed Steam Sales are also a great time to wishlist upcoming games in your favorite genres. Many new and upcoming games were featured in the annual Wholesome Games Direct 2026 showcase earlier this summer.

We’d recommend checking out the free demos for Milki Delivery (from the makers of Minami Lane, 2026)), Lou’s Lagoon (island exploring life sim, Aug 27), Book Nook (papercraft meets puzzle game, 2026), Design & Conjure (Witchy room designer, TBA), Froggy Brews (cute frog narrative adventure, TBA), and more!

The Wholesome Games Celebration Steam Sale ends August 13.
