Everything announced at the 2024 Wholesome Snack showcase

What’s next in the world of cozy, wholesome games? During the Wholesome Games showcase ahead of The Game Awards, we got a look at an incredible lineup of upcoming indie games — one of which will be surprise-launched Tuesday. That game is Naiad, a breathtakingly beautiful game centered on nature and myth, which is out now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. But Naiad is just one of many exciting reveals made during the event, including the next installment of the Duck Detective series — Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping — and DLC for the lovely Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley. Oh, and then there’s the release date for Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To and the announcement of Toem 2.
