In a week of excitement and huge game announcements and reveals, one little free Steam game is here to slow things down.
Novel Haven is a beautiful, cozy game that was quietly released on February 24. In it, you retire to a quaint seaside village, where you can revitalize an old lighthouse and transform it into a bustling bookstore. The game is designed to help you "forget about everyday life for a while." And best of all, it's available on Steam entirely for free.
Novel Haven is a short, story-driven game created in collaboration between SkyCat Games and author Anabelle Stehl. The game is based on the German book trilogy of the same name by the author, though it can be enjoyed by anyone—even if you haven't read Stehl's books.
The game features a charming pixel art style and full voice acting, all of which add to its charm. There are many options to choose from in designing and decorating your perfect cozy bookstore. And, when you're not busy creating your haven by the sea, you can help the villagers, discover secrets, restock the shelves, and even keep adorable pets like capybaras.
