Hozy news & patch notes

Hello, renovators! 

We’re thrilled to be able to share with you the latest update for Hozy, featuring the rest of the Game Plus Levels and our first version of Sandbox Mode! 

Sandbox Mode

Yes, you read that right: the first iteration of the long-awaited and highly requested Sandbox Mode has arrived! 

We are just getting started, so you’ll be able to expect further updates in future, including the ability to change the actual geometry of the room. We’d love your feedback and any suggestions on what you’d like to see added to the mode, so do share them on Steam Forums or Discord (link at the end of this post)! 

Select your favourite flooring and wall options at just the click of your cursor, using various styles and colours to create the room of your dreams. 

Then, select from any of the in-game furniture and decorative items to create something special. You can even scroll through the boxes and choose exactly which furniture you’d like to place! 

Game Plus Levels

As we mentioned in our previous update, all of the rooms in Hozy now have a Game Plus variation, allowing you to experience a fun new side of each of the spaces! 

So now, once you’ve finished Hozy’s main story, you’ll be able to reselect any of your previously completed levels and enter the Game Plus version of the room, with totally different furniture (and occupants!) than the original one. 

Choose What to Unpack 👀

We’ve been keeping a close eye on feedback, and we noticed that a lot of you would like more of a choice in which pieces of furniture to unpack from each of the boxes, so now you will have a new setting available to allow you to scroll through each of the items in a box and decide which you’d like to take out first! 

We hope this will make it easier for you to create the cozy room of your dreams, and can’t wait to see what you create! 

That’s all we’ve got for you today, but don’t forget to share your screenshots with us on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Threads, and Bluesky, with #MakeItHozy, and join our Discord to keep up with the latest news! 

Steam Reviews: Share your Feedback! 

If you haven’t had a chance to share a review for Hozy on Steam yet, please do consider it! Even a few short sentences can help to shape the future of Hozy. 

Hello, renovators! 

We have been absolutely blown away by the incredible support we’ve received from our wonderful community since Update 1.1, and seeing you all enjoying the new options available in Game Plus mode has been truly incredible. Over 270k renovators have joined us since launch, and for that we’re so grateful!

We’ve also been paying close attention to your feedback and reviews, and we’re working hard on making sure there’s plenty of endgame content for those of you who have completed Hozy’s story so far. 

We’ll be rolling out the rest of the levels in Game Plus mode soon, so you can continue getting creative with the rooms you’ve previously decorated. But beyond that, we’ve got even more exciting additions to the game to come - take a look at the full Roadmap below!

Game Plus and Sandbox Experience

Like we mentioned above, Game Plus mode will soon be available for all the rooms you’ve previously completed, meaning you’ll be able to unlock both lighting options and an alternative set of furniture for them. 

We’ll also soon be introducing the highly-requested Sandbox Experience, where you’ll be able to enjoy full creative freedom with all of the furniture available in the game. We can’t wait to see what you’re able to create with it! 

Free DLC (with new rooms!)

Yes, you read that correctly…three new rooms will be coming to Hozy! We won’t spoil too much for you (yet), but you’ll soon be able to decorate three incredible new locations that will continue Alex’s story. Keep an eye on our social channels (linked at the end of this post) for hints about what’s to come in future…

Seasonal Updates 

Halloween spookiness? Check. Christmas decorations? Check. Valentine’s hearts? Check. 

We’ll be releasing fun seasonal updates with new decorative items for a range of festivities and holidays, giving you the chance to celebrate some of your favourite occasions in-game. 

The first of these exciting updates will be coming just in time for Halloween, so get ready for plenty of treats (no tricks though, we wouldn’t do that to you)! 

New Themed DLC

Once all these incredible free additions to the game have made their way to you, you’ll have an incredible new Themed DLC available; this will include new rooms and new furniture for you to enjoy, all with one incredible theme. 

That’s a little sneak peek into what’s to come for Hozy in the coming months - what are you most excited for? Let us know!

Don’t forget to share your screenshots with us on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Threads, and Bluesky, with #MakeItHozy and keep up with the latest news! 

Hello, renovators! 

We are so pleased to share a brand new update with you today, featuring some end game content for those of you who have completed the existing rooms and are looking for something fresh: the 1.1 Update, featuring Game+. 

What’s new in the update? 👀

Once you’ve finished renovating the current rooms available as part of Alex’s story, you’ll now be able to unlock alternative versions of some of your previously completed levels, with both lighting options and an alternative set of furniture. 

For example, you can now decorate the Attic with items from the Workshop, making it a cozy little art studio - and check out how lovely the fireplace looks at night! 

These new options will be available for the Attic, Workshop, Tree House, Small Apartment, and Café for the time being, but we’ll be adding in the remaining rooms in a future update! 

Of course, we’ve also provided some bug fixes and general improvements in this update, too - check the changelog at the end of this post for all the details, or just update your game now and dive right in! 

Don’t forget to share your screenshots with us on Bluesky, Twitter, TikTok, Threads, and Instagram, with #MakeItHozy and keep up with the latest news! 

Full Changelog:

• Added alternative versions for the Attic, Workshop, Tree House, Small Apartment, and Bar. To unlock them, you need to finish the game.

• After finishing the game for the above-mentioned levels, you will unlock the ability to switch between day and night.

• Remixes of existing music tracks were added for the five mentioned levels.

• Fixed the mechanics of naming your Bar - input should now properly behave and save.

• Fixed a bug where leaves and cards could respawn as trash when loading the level.

• Fixed Blackout podium physics, which sometimes blocked the ability to put furniture on it until reloading the level.

• Fixed the carpets disappearing after deselecting them with RMB.

• Fixed most cases of items disappearing during level launch. This should also at least partially fix rare issues when some boxes are not properly loaded, and you cannot finish the level.

• Fixed the issue of wall items getting stuck together.

• Tree House - improved mechanics of throwing items away.

• Workshop - fixed an issue where returning to the level via Continue could cause music to stop playing.

• Fixed Dream level wall painting condition not being triggered correctly.

Known issues we are working on:

• Mac version only: Achievements should now be correctly triggered.

• Mac version only: Screenshots should now save correctly.

Hey there, renovators!

Can you believe that more than 200,000 of you have made Alex's little world your own? We are so incredibly grateful for each and every one of you. This community means everything to us!

We've been hard at work on new Hozy content, and a full roadmap is on its way. But today, we just couldn't wait to share a little something with you first!

New Game +

Once you complete Hozy's current story by finishing work on all available levels, you'll be able to unlock alternative versions of the levels you've already played through.

This will let you look at familiar, well-loved locations in a whole new light — literally!

Each level will offer several lighting options as well as an alternative set of furniture. For example, you'll be able to transform the artist's workshop into a cozy café!

The alternative versions will initially be available for the Attic, Workshop, Tree House, Small Apartment, and Bar levels, with all remaining levels coming in one of the following updates.

Just like the classic levels, each alternative set has been carefully curated, and we're genuinely excited for you to experience them!

Sandbox Experience and the future updates

New Game + doesn't mean we're giving up on the fully-fledged Sandbox Experience that the community has been asking for so passionately!

We want to deliver a truly great experience, and for that, we just need a little more time. The Sandbox Experience is in active development, and we'll be releasing it in several iterations, gathering and incorporating your feedback along the way!

Think of New Game + as a fresh way to fall in love with Hozy all over again — while the Sandbox Experience gets the attention it truly deserves.

We have so many plans for Hozy, and thanks to YOU, we will be able to make them happen!

Future free updates will add more levels, improved controller support, and more quality-of-life features. Plus, our macOS players, we hear you, and we're on it! 

We’ll be sharing more news with you soon, so make sure you follow us on Steam, Discord, Bluesky, X, TikTok, Threads, and Instagram.

Thank you for being part of Hozy’s journey! 💛

Hello renovators!

We are so happy to announce that more than 100,000 of you have purchased and played Hozy in just 4 days since launch! 

From the bottom of our hearts:

💖 THANK YOU ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND TIMES! 💖

We are so unbelievably grateful to each and every one of you who played the game and shared reviews, comments, screenshots, and videos with us and with everyone around the globe. Every single post means the world to us.

We have so many plans for Hozy, and thanks to YOU, we will be able to make them happen!

We already mentioned that the much-requested sandbox experience will be available soon, so that you can have more ways to experiment with the rooms you’re designing. We are also looking into adding more content, improving controller support and the macOS version, fixing reported issues, and introducing more quality-of-life features. 

We’ll be sharing more news with you soon, so make sure you follow us on Steam, Discord, Bluesky, X, TikTok, Threads, and Instagram.

Thank you for being part of Hozy’s journey! 💛

Hello, renovators! 

We cannot begin to put into words how much we appreciate the outpouring of support we’ve received since Hozy launched a few days ago, but we’re going to try! 

To each and every one of you who have taken the time to play our cozy renovation game, have left reviews, and have shared your screenshots or videos with us: thank you. Hozy has always been a labor of love, and seeing how much joy it has brought our wonderful community of renovators has been truly incredible. 

We know you’re probably wondering what’s next, so we thought we’d share a little bit on what the future holds for Hozy! 

The Future of Hozy 👀

We’ve been keeping a close eye on all the feedback and suggestions that have been pouring in since launch, and we know there have been some questions on the value of the game in terms of the playtime; we completely understand that 9 levels can fly by pretty quickly, especially when you’re in the Hozy flow! 

Hozy was built as a focused, handcrafted experience rather than an endless one, and every level was made with a lot of care and attention to detail; the micro-interactions, the soundtrack, and the overall design all show how much real thought went into the experience we wanted to give you. 

Having said that, we’ve always taken our community’s feedback very seriously, and we’re really pleased to share that due to the incredible support we’ve received through the launch, we are able to be actively working on additional content, so you’ll have more of Hozy’s world to unpack in future! 

We’ll also be adding the much-requested sandbox experience soon, so that you can have more ways to experiment with the rooms you’re designing! We'll be happy to iterate on this game mode together with you and improve it based on your feedback!

Keep up with our social channels and make sure you’re following us on Steam for more information on this! 

Screenshots from our internal testing that show various furniture sets and lighting settings!

We want to hear from you 💛

There’s a whole world of interior design out there, and we know that everyone has their own individual tastes; that’s why we’d like to see what kind of furniture and colour palettes YOU find most interesting! 

If you’d like to help us shape the future of Hozy and have some input about what future objects might look like, head over to our Discord server and share your favourite interiors in the #Hozy-Homes channel! 

That’s all we’ve got for you today, but we’re looking forward to being able to share more with you all soon! 

The above screenshots come from our Discord followers: clairebear, UltraMikaHD, killian, Anissa, Saalomé, Ellie.

Don’t forget to share your screenshots with us on Discord, Bluesky, Twitter, TikTok, Threads, and Instagram, with #MakeItHozy and keep up with the latest news! 

Hello, renovators! 

We are so absolutely thrilled to be able to share that Hozy is out now! 🎉 There’s a lot of new things you can look forward to since we released the demo…so let’s take a closer look! 

Locations (and Interactions!) to Discover 🔍

From a dusty Attic filled with old memories to a childhood dream - the Tree House - and even a charming Cafe, each space in Hozy is as unique as the occupiers you’ll be renovating them for. Whether you’ve always longed to create a cozy art corner or cultivate a hidden oasis of plants, you’ll be able to curate each space the way you want to, at your own pace. 

Of course, tiny, thoughtful object interactions are part of what has always made Hozy so special, and you’ll have plenty to discover (including a robot vacuum cleaner!), so make sure to tag us with any you come across! 

Streamlined Unpacking 📦

We’ve been paying close attention to your feedback from the demo, and we noticed that a more simplified unpacking process was something that a lot of our community wanted, so that you could truly curate the spaces you’re renovating. 

That’s why we’ve made a few changes to how you’ll unpack furniture from now on; first off, all boxes are clearly labelled, so you have an idea of which items you’ll be finding a space for. However, if you’re still not ready to place the item you just withdrew, don’t worry! There is now no limit on the number of items you can store in the Lost and Found Box, so you can save as many for later as you’d like! 

Accessibility Features ✨

It’s important to us that as many people who want to play Hozy, can, so the development team has been hard at work to create a range of accessibility options and features to help make playing a more seamless experience. These include new colourblind UI settings, the option to choose which completion level a task autocompletes at, and the ability to toggle on or off an action, rather than holding the mouse button.

We’ll be keeping a close eye on your feedback for these features, as well as any more that might be requested! 

Quality of Life Improvements 📸

Of course, we couldn’t release your new favourite cozy game without adding a couple of additional quality of life improvements! For those who played the demo and playtested the game, you’ll notice a completely reworked camera with wider-angle rotation, making it easier than ever to take a closer look at all those tiny details, rotate to find the perfect place for that vase, and lots more! 

We’ve also optimized the game for better performance across devices, which should make for a more streamlined experience! 

That’s everything we’ve got for you today, other than a big thank you to those of you who have supported our cozy game. We truly can’t wait to see your reactions to Hozy now that it’s out in the wild!

Hello, renovators! 

With Hozy launching in a few hours (!), we thought we’d share a little more about some of the exciting things that have been going on behind the scenes; that’s why, today, we’re having a little sit down with our portrait artist, Rina!

Rina created all of the portraits you’ll see throughout the various rooms you’ll be renovating in Hozy (including some you haven’t seen yet!), so we hope you’ll enjoy learning a little more about her process. 

Hi Rina! You provided some beautiful portraits for Hozy - did you have any inspirations when it came to creating them?

Thank you! I was actually really inspired by the artwork from Disco Elysium; the way they held a lot of character and had that slightly messy, artistic style. I wanted to create something similarly distinctive but with a much cozier and cuter style!

They’re definitely much cozier! Did you find yourself having to adapt your portrait style for Hozy, at all?

Luckily, the developers were very trusting of my process; they’d seen my art already and loved it, so they gave me a lot of freedom in what I wanted to create which made it so much easier to feel inspired! My artistic identity is always torn between grimdark/gothic/horror and cute/cozy themes, so it was a great pleasure to work on a cozy-themed game.

How did the rooms belonging to each of the characters inspire their portraits?

It’s really interesting that you asked this, because I wanted each portrait to feel like it gave an insight into the character by not just depicting them individually, but also by highlighting what they do, who they love, and what they care about. I feel like the furniture and style of the rooms created by the developers do the same thing; they allow you to work out a bit more about each of the occupants so you can work out who they are for themselves.

Which of the portraits you created is your favourite?

Oh, it has to be the musician from the Dark Music Hall. I felt like I could really express his wild personality alongside all his instruments, and the end result felt almost like the kind of pictures you’d have of a family member - full of character!

I also liked being able to work on some of the portraits of the main character when they were younger…but I won’t say too much about that!

If you’d like to see more of her incredible work, Rina can be found on Twitter, Instagram, and ArtStation.

Hello, renovators! 

We’re excited to share something special with you today: the Hozy Official Soundtrack is coming soon! 

We were fortunate enough to work with Yann Van Der Cruyssen, the composer for ‘Stray’ and other indie games, who crafted each track to harmoniously complement the atmosphere of the levels. The music reflects not only the mood of the rooms, but also quietly hints at the story of the people who own them. Don’t worry, there are also a few bonus tracks to keep the cozy vibes flowing! 

Check out one of the tracks below!

Each of these tracks is entirely dynamic, meaning that as you progress through the room you’re currently renovating, you’ll notice the music adjusts to reflect the improvements being made to the space. 

Naturally, a soundtrack as cozy as this is made to be enjoyed as much as possible, so you can now pre-save it here, ready to listen to it on-the-go when the game officially launches, or get it on Steam to add to your collection.  

We can’t wait to see what you think!

Don’t forget to follow us on Bluesky, Twitter, TikTok, Threads, and Instagram, share your screenshots with #MakeItHozy, or join our Discord to chat all things Hozy and show off your wholesome interiors!

So, thank you: for wishlisting us, for playing the demo, and for sharing your screenshots or streaming the game. We truly can’t wait to be able to share the full version with you soon! 

If you haven’t had a chance to wishlist us yet, make sure to do so on Steam, and you can also follow us on Bluesky, Twitter, TikTok, Threads, and Instagram, share your screenshots with #MakeItHozy, or join our Discord to chat all things Hozy and show off your wholesome interiors there!

We are so incredibly humbled and grateful to each and every one of you who played the Hozy Demo during Steam Next Fest! Together, we made it into the Top 10 most-played demos of the entire festival! ✨

We also received so many wholesome, detailed, and thoughtful reviews. Every piece of feedback means the world to us, and we'll be doing our best to incorporate as much of it as possible before launch. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 💖

Hello, renovators! 

We have some very exciting news to share with you today: Hozy has a brand new demo for you to play as part of Steam Next Fest! 

We’ve got lots of new things for you to try; shall we take a deeper dive? 

New Level 🔦

Grab a flashlight, light your candles, and make sure you’ve got your trusty…glowstick? The city has lost power just as a famed musician has returned; you’ll have to go to work despite the dim conditions, and show this home the love it deserves. We’re sure you’ll be up to the challenge!

Don’t worry, you’ll still be able to play some of your favourite previous levels: The Attic and Workshop are playable in the demo, too. 

Neighbourhood Diorama Menu 📍

That’s right, you’ll now have a menu to select which room you’d like to work on! Simply click on the building you’d like to start cozy-fying, and away you go! 

Obviously, this is still a demo version, so you won’t be able to select all of the levels, but we think it will give you a nice taste of how it will look in the full game.

Revamped Photo Mode 📸

We know how much our wonderful community love sharing their screenshots - and how much we enjoy seeing them - so you’ve got a revamped photo mode to play around with in this demo! 

Right now, there are two fun filters for you to try out, with more to come in the full game. Don’t forget to share yours on socials using #MakeItHozy or on our Discord! (Links to both are at the end of this post). 

…and so much more! ✨

Of course, we do have a couple more additions up our sleeves for our first ever demo: we’ve got brand new music for you to enjoy as you renovate, paint colour selections for your walls (three per level!), new hand-drawn portraits, and Steam Cloud saves! Phew - so much to enjoy! 

We’ve also started working on Gamepad controls; however, these are still very much in progress, so we’d appreciate your feedback both in the Steam discussions and on our Discord. 

We’re also pleased to share that a long-awaited feature will be coming in the full version of the game once it launches on March 30th: level progress saving. Exciting!

That’s everything we’ve got to share with you for now; we truly hope you enjoy the new demo, and we can’t wait to see your rooms!  If you haven’t had a chance to wishlist us yet, make sure to do so on Steam, share your screenshots with us on Bluesky, Twitter, TikTok, or Instagram, and tell us what you think of the new demo on Discord!

We look forward to having more to share with you soon!

Hello, renovators! 

With the festive season well and truly upon us, we simply couldn’t let the holiday season pass without finding a very Hozy way to celebrate! That’s why we’ve added a brand new decorative holiday-themed update to the playtest!

You’ll now find snow-covered rooftops, sparkling lights, a Christmas tree, and even presents waiting for you to place in the first level of the playtest, and we can’t wait to see the screenshots of how you decide to decorate!

Hello, renovators! 

There’s a slight chill to the air, the leaves are turning, and the desire to stay warm under a blanket or two is stronger than ever…it must be Autumn! Naturally, we couldn’t let one of the coziest seasons pass by without commemorating it somehow, so…we decided to update the Hozy playtest with a brand new Autumn-inspired level for a limited time! 

With a warm colour palette, some Halloween decorations, and a sprinkling of falling leaves for you to round up, the new Workshop level is the perfect way to unwind as the days get shorter, and we look forward to seeing your completed versions. Share yours using #Hozy on social media, tagging us, or in our Discord channel! All the links are at the end of this post. 

To experience the new room, simply update or download the Hozy Playtest in your Steam library; the Workshop is the third level, but if you don't want to redo the first two levels, you can press Alt+Shift+3 to skip straight ahead.

Please note that this level will be available for 2 weeks (until 13 November), so make sure you try it out before then if you want to be able to enjoy it! If you’d like to continue to stay updated on Hozy’s development, make sure to wishlist us here on Steam, follow us on Bluesky, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram, and join our Discord to share your experiences in the playtest so far! 

We look forward to having more to share with you soon!

Hello, renovators!

We're pleased to share that we've just updated the Hozy playtest with a few bug fixes and new localizations!

🔧 Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Fixed an issue where the trash tooltip was getting stuck on Level 1

• Fixed an issue with items not disappearing once placed in the Lost & Found Box

• Fixed the 'discard' tooltip not disappearing if the feature is not used

• Fixed the 'right-click to interact' tooltip not disappearing if the window is not opened

📸 Changes to Screenshot Folder

We noticed that some of you were having trouble accessing your screenshots using the dedicated screenshot tool in-game. To help with this, you'll now find your screenshots saved in a new file location: C:/Users//AppData/Local/CozyGame/Saved

🌍 New Localizations

We know Hozy has renovators all around the world trying to revitalize and reinvigorate each room, so we've made it easier for everyone to enjoy the game with updated language support. Localized text is now available for the following languages: French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Serbian, Russian, Ukrainian, and Polish.

That's everything we have to share for today! Most of these changes and updates were made in direct response to you, our wonderful playtesters, sharing your bug reports and suggestions, so please continue to share your experiences here on Steam, or on Bluesky, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, and our official Discord!

Thank you for your continued support!

Hello, renovators! 

Thank you so much to those of you who have taken the time to try the Hozy playtest so far, we’ve loved seeing your feedback, screenshots, and videos as you discover the world of Hozy and what makes it so special. 

We’re incredibly excited to be able to share with you today that the Hozy playtest has now been updated! 

You’ll now be able to renovate an additional brand new room as part of the playtest; once belonging to a slightly eccentric scientist, it’s a tiny downtown apartment that is going to need a lot of love and care before you can start unpacking the new occupant’s belongings. 

With limited space, you’ll want to get creative and utilize the shelves and balcony as much as possible to make sure the space really feels like home. Your incoming occupant has some bulky items in her possession, so there’s no denying it will be a challenge to make sure the tiny apartment fits everything she needs. We’re looking forward to seeing how you adapt the space to make it just right for the new owner! 

To experience the new room, simply update or download the Hozy Playtest in your Steam library - and please do leave feedback if there’s anything you’d like to contribute! 

If you’d like to continue to stay updated on Hozy’s development, make sure to wishlist us here on Steam, follow us on Bluesky, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram, and join our Discord to share your experiences in the playtest so far! 

We look forward to having more to share with you soon!

Welcome, renovators, to our very first Dev Diary! 

We’ve loved seeing your feedback and suggestions on the Hozy playtest, and greatly appreciate everyone who’s taken the time to play and leave comments - thank you! 

Today, we wanted to share a little more about the incredible team behind Hozy. 

Who are the developers?

Hozy is being developed by Come On Games, with a small but passionate team of 5 developers working on the game; founded as a media studio in 2016, the team had originally worked on apps and websites across a bunch of different industries…and then COVID-19 hit. To keep fresh, the team started working on games as a side project to develop their skills, experimenting with different genres. 

Why Hozy?

As the team began to hone their game development skills, Egor, the Creative Director of Come on Games, had been spending his spare time playing cozy, relaxing games as well as some interior design and cleaning titles, and had felt like something was missing; they didn’t feel satisfying enough - so, he decided to begin experimenting with creating his own! 

There were a lot of early versions of Hozy, but it was when Egor realised he wanted the game to be satisfying in every moment - where the process of cleaning, moving objects around, and yes, those micro-interactions we all know and love - was as important as the final results, that Hozy truly found its heart. 

Hozy is a game focused around joy, interaction, and care for the surrounding environment, made by a team that has, since its early days, focused on building excellent user experiences, whether in their early days of app and web development, or in their games; right now, they’re hard at work utilizing the incredible feedback and suggestions from those of you who have tried the playtest…shall we take a little look at what they’ve been working on?

Updates & Bug Fixes 

One of the biggest pieces of feedback we received from you, our wonderful playtesters, was that the window-cleaning squidgee tool was getting stuck on corners and edges when you were trying to clean - not ideal! That’s why, in the latest patch, the tool has been optimized, allowing for smoother cleaning and a more streamlined experience. 

Another thing we noticed in your feedback was that placing carpets around furniture wasn’t as easy as we intended it to be; so, you’ll now find that in the playtest, you can place carpets even under existing furniture to really create the perfect look, without having to rearrange everything! 

Aside from these two major fixes, we’ve also been taking a lot of your suggestions into account; that’s why since the playtest’s launch, more localization options have been added for various languages, and both Mac OS and Steam Deck features have been incorporated for those who were itching to be a part of the playtest on various platforms! 

We hope you’ve enjoyed the first Dev Diary for Hozy, and that we’ve given you a suitable little sneak peek into what you’ll be able to expect from the final game; if you’d like to stay updated, make sure to wishlist us here on Steam, follow us on Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram, and join our Discord to share your experiences in the playtest so far! 

We look forward to having more to share with you soon!

UPD. We found an issue which could prevent some of you from installing MacOS version - it's fixed now. You may need to relaunch Steam to proceed to download. Hello everyone!

We hope you're having a lovely time cleaning and renovating rooms in Hozy! Seeing your amazing screenshots in Discord and on social media fills us with joy. Your creativity gives us so much energy and inspiration to keep making Hozy even cozier and better.

We’ve been actively reading your feedback, watching your streams and YouTube videos, and already making changes based on the things you’ve pointed out. Thank you so much for that!

And speaking of updates, today we're happy to share what’s new in this small patch for the current playtest:

🧺 New Feature – Lost & Found Box

Need to temporarily set aside a lamp or table you’re not ready to place? Simply throw it outside the room (don’t worry, it won’t get damaged or disappear). It will be stored in a special Lost & Found box, ready for you to retrieve and use later when inspiration strikes!

🍎 Experimental macOS Support

We want Hozy to be available to as many people as possible, and we’re happy to announce that the game is now playable on macOS! Join the playtest today and let us know what you think.

Please note that to run the game on your Mac, you need to have at least macOS 13.0 installed. This is our experimental build, so the game might have some performance issues.

🧠 Improved Tooltips and Hints

We’ve added new tooltips to make it easier to learn how to use tools and interact with objects. We aim to help you jump into Hozy without friction and enjoy the cozy flow from the start.

🌍 New Languages

Hozy is now available in even more languages so renovators around the world can enjoy the game with ease:

French, Russian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Serbian, Ukrainian, Polish, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.

🔧 Other Improvements and Fixes

• Added many new sound effects for object interactions

• Fixed various small bugs

• General performance improvements

That’s it for today! 

Let us know what you think, and keep sharing your rooms, clips, and feedback with us in our Discord.

Thank you for being part of Hozy’s journey 💛
