Questions From Our Readers
A few things people often ask about the blog
Do you accept guest posts or reader submissions?
Yes, we occasionally feature guest essays and reader recommendations. Send a short pitch describing your angle and the game you'd like to cover, and we'll follow up if it fits.
How often do you publish new pieces?
We aim for a new article roughly once a week. We'd rather post something considered and well-played than rush out content on a fixed schedule.
What counts as a 'cozy' game on this blog?
Generally, low-stakes titles with gentle pacing — farming sims, slice-of-life adventures, relaxed puzzle games, and narrative pieces that don't rely on tension or time pressure.
Do you cover mainstream releases too?
Occasionally, but only when a bigger release fits our slower, cozy lens. Our focus stays on indie and lesser-known titles that don't always get coverage elsewhere.
Where is this blog based?
We write from Giza, Egypt, though our reader community and the games we cover come from all over. Location shapes our writing schedule more than our subject matter.
