Sometimes, you don’t want a game that challenges you. You don’t want to button mash or memorize combos, you just want something with a simple story, simple gameplay, and a relaxing mood. Lucky for you, one of these low-stress games is hopping over to PC. Nukuna Interactive and Ivy Juice Games have collaborated to bring the archaeology-themed cozy adventure game Jo & Rubi: A Cozy Expedition to Steam.
This mobile-to-PC game boasts a cute, simple story with gameplay that similarly soothes the player:
“Jo & Rubi: A Cozy Expedition follows a curious kid and their loyal robin sidekick through a short, low-stress archaeology story told across three chapters: a warm family home, a lakeside research center, and a real dig site. Along the way, players sort artefacts, tidy up gardens, pull trash from the ocean, and unearth secrets buried in the dirt. 19 handcrafted mini-games in total, each designed to feel good rather than test your reflexes.”
Developed in collaboration with an archaeologist and a media pedagogue, the game seeks to deliver a relaxing but entertaining experience. Key features include:
- “19 mini-games across 3 chapters
- A short story you can finish in one sitting
- No timers, no fail states, no pressure
- Handcrafted levels
- Simple controls
- Relaxing music”
Jo & Rubi: A Cozy Expedition can already be played on the Apple Store and Google Play Store. The Steam page will go live for wishlisting, but no full release date has been announced. Watch the game’s full trailer below.
