Quick Navigation:
Shadow-Dropped Titles
Everyone loves a shadow-drop and despite it being a mini-broadcast, there was still two games shadow-dropped during the Wholesome Snack:
Wylde Flowers
PC | Xbox | PlayStation | Switch | iOS
Wylde Flowers is a magical farming game where you play as Tara who moves back home to help her grandma with the family farm, only to discover that she comes from a family of witches!
As you play through the game you’ll need to come to terms with your own identity and learn more about the magical world of witchcraft, while also looking after your farm. You’ll be able to help the villagers with their problems, solve mysteries, and uncover the secrets of Fairhaven.
It's an incredible story-driven farming game with an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam and it is out now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S as part of the Wholesome Snack!
Bits & Bops
Bits & Bops is a collection of rhythm minigames filled with catchy music, snappy gameplay, and hand-drawn animations, and it's OUT NOW on PC via Steam!
There's so much to love about this colourful and quirky rhythm game and there's even an adorable dog-bear named Bop to keep you company as you play.
World Premiere Titles
The second best part of any showcase are the world premieres and these six games were revealed for the VERY FIRST TIME as part of Wholesome Snack 2025:
ReStory
ReStory is a chill, story-driven shop management simulator, where you run your own repair shop in mid-2000s Japan.
The gameplay for ReStory reminds me so much of Assemble with Care, which I played for the first time recently. In ReStory you will be taking apart, cleaning, and reassembling familiar pieces of technology like a PSP (or PMP in this game), tamagotchis (eggotchis) and Nokia (Pokia) phones.
There's a playtest out for ReStory on Steam, if you want to give it a try.
Thrifty Business
Spellgarden Games, the developers behind Sticky Business and Ritual of Raven, announced a brand new shop sim called Thrifty Business!
Set up and manage your very own 90’s-inspired vintage thrift shop in this colourful new game. Sort through boxes to find hidden treasures and arrange nostalgic displays (clothes, antiques, toys & more).
Customize furniture, wallpaper and more to make your store as welcoming and cozy as possible and transform it into a hub for the local community as you befriend the regulars and help with their requests!
Verdant
Verdant is a coming of age story set in a lush, post-apocalyptic 1980s Germany.
Play as a young adventurer named Sprout who is trying to survive in a beautiful yet harsh world.
Players will embark on a bittersweet journey of discovery, exploring a vibrant landscape full of mystery and piecing together the story of how the world changed and the role you will play in its future.
Travel Pack!
It’s time to take a trip across a pocket-sized world of tiles, terrains and colourful characters in this light puzzle narrative game inspired by board games and travel.
It comes from the idea that we like to add our own variations to the games we play together. Roll dice, move across terrain tiles to collect them and score combos or open new paths.
Travel Pack is about meeting new people and finding out more about them based on the way they choose to play. You'll be on your first adventure through this miniature world of tiles and figurines, with light puzzles to overcome and characterful stories to enjoy.
Find Your Words
This short, cozy adventure game about the joy of forging new connections. Find your community at summer camp, one friendship at a time. Collect communication symbols by exploring and playing with friends and use them to interact and take part in new activities!
Created by two dads, inspired by their non-speaking kids’ journeys, Find your Words was created to celebrate their kids’ journeys to find their voices
CatchMaker
This may be one of the weirdest dating sims I've ever seen, and that's saying something when Hatoful Boyfriend exists! CatchMaker is teeming with bugs and you are on a quest to catch and match them all.
Observe the cute bugs to learn their habits and preferences to catch them easier, then set up the perfect romantic evening to help them find their match. Every date reveals more about a bug's ideal partner helping you get closer to finding their soulmate.
There's also a quirky batch of islanders to befriend and you can also uncover your family's history, but we all know the big selling point is the bug dating...
