What Is Wholesome Games?

Wholesome Games is a community of cozy gamers across multiple social platforms such as X, Discord, YouTube, and TikTok. Founded in 2020, the community comprises of members who are fed up with fast-paced shooting and fighting games and need something to relax their minds after a hectic day.

The team at Wholesome Games believes that “there’s a whole world of hopeful video games with rich storytelling, innovative gameplay, and beautiful art and sound.” These elements are missing from the mainstream gaming industry, so the team aims to fill in the gap


Wholesome Direct 2024

Wholesome Games live-streamed their mega-event on YouTube on June 8th, 2024. The platform was handed to several small developers to showcase their talent, who came up with an exciting collection of light and pleasant games.

This year’s Direct lasted for an hour and set the stage for the release of over 70 games. Some of these were previously announced games that got updated trailers and release dates, while others were surprise launches for the fans.


My Favorites

Personally, a few of them appealed to me more than the others. The Star Named EOS is an interesting mystery game in a beautiful hand-drawn world. Scheduled to release in July, this photography-based game has upped my expectations.

For space enthusiasts like me, Curiosmos is the title not to miss out on. Here, we can create our customized solar system and play around with planets, stardust, gravity, and much more. The game features a wholesome, cutesy outer space with vibrant colors that serve as a treat to our sight.

The next title that caught my attention is Littlelands. In this cute adventure game, you can live your dream village life away from the rush of the capitalistic world. Cook delicious food, interact with neighbors, and explore dungeons and magical landscapes. 

Ever dreamt of leaving behind the hustle of everyday life and opening your pretty bookshop at a scenic location? Tiny Bookshop will make this dream come true, at least virtually. Stock your bookshop with your favorite books in your cozy bookshop, set up across multiple stunning locations. 


Fan Reactions

Wholesome Games has filled the fan demand well. The same old action, battles, and violence have bored and tired gamers who need something to put their minds at ease. With a fun, compassionate, and warm line-up of games, these creations appealed well to gamers. People took it to X to express their appreciation for Wholesome Direct 2024.

The summer heat is enough to raise stress levels; you don’t need to add to it by playing fierce, violent games. Consequently, all the announced titles intend to evoke positive feelings and emotions of hope, optimism, comfort, and peace. From the adorable character designs to catchy storylines and colorful worlds, Wholesome Games has shaped our summer vibe.
