Stardew Valley

Stardew Valley sells a day you want to repeat. Seasons, villagers, a mine that is optional enough to feel like a secret. Multiplayer exists; the loop does not depend on a raid night.

The high-review corpus tags it simulation. Shypiard also files it as cozy + RPG because players use all three aisles. That overload is a positioning warning for anyone tagging 'cozy' without a ritual.

There is no listed Next Fest and no listed demo in the store reading. The game predates that playbook. Copying the pixel farm without copying the daily structure is how cozy pages stall.

For studios: the creator clip is a harvest, a gift, a rainy day — no feature list.
