Build. Restore. Unwind. Bring a forgotten valley back to life.
[Oregon, USA– March 30, 2026] – A peaceful escape awaits among sunlit vineyards. Pangea Game Studios, in partnership with indie publishing platform indie.io, has released the Cozy Builder demo on Steam for House & Home Fest, giving players their first hands-on look at the upcoming cozy sandbox builder.
Cozy Builder is a relaxing sandbox building experience where players design and restore charming homes across a tranquil vineyard valley. While it shares the creative freedom of cozy builders like Tiny Glade and Townscaper, Cozy Builder introduces a unique modular puzzle-building system, inviting players to craft their dream château while rebuilding a countryside shaped by quiet disaster.
Set in the aftermath of an earthquake, Cozy Builder places players in a once-thriving valley now left in disrepair. As the only builder capable of restoring its intricate architectural style, players will rebuild homes piece by piece, bringing warmth, beauty, and life back to the region while earning the gratitude of its townsfolk.
The newly released demo offers a robust vertical slice of the full experience, introducing players to Cozy Builder’s core systems. Through a guided tutorial and a series of builder-focused objectives, players will engage with the game’s signature modular construction system—assembling architectural elements like dormers, arches, and gabled roofs as part of satisfying 3D building puzzles. The demo offers guided content, but remains open-ended—allowing players to continue building, decorating, and experimenting long after objectives are complete.
Beyond construction, players can fully immerse themselves in the valley they restore. Cozy Builder allows players to live inside their creations, decorating both interiors and exteriors with detailed furniture, greenery, and handcrafted elements. From ivy-covered cottages to elegant greenhouse sanctuaries filled with rare plants, every space becomes a personal reflection of the player’s style.
The vineyard setting adds another layer of cozy immersion. Players can harvest grapes, forage for ingredients, and craft artisanal goods like wine and preserves—connecting their creative efforts to the land itself. With no combat, fail states, or time pressure, the experience is designed as a calming retreat where creativity and exploration take center stage.
Players can begin restoring the valley today by downloading the Cozy Builder demo on Steam.
