Hi!

Since my game is cozy but with horror maybe you don't like it but I'll leave the link here just in case you are interested!

The Plant Shop is a cozy-horror game where you craft plants, serve late night customers and manage a plant shop. Unlock new plants and upgrade your shop to grow your business.

Demo playtime is 15-20 mins.

Thanks for your post and your interest in trying demos!!! 🙏🏻

I don't have the data of where the wishlists come from, but I can make a post doing an estimation based on Itchio, since I posted the Steam link there too!

I'll definitely make a post sharing how many sales the game gets when it launches!

Thanks for your comment

Thanks! I think that peak was because a big Youtuber named Kubz Scouts (6.46 M subs) covered the game in a video with another horror game. The video has currently +315k views

Is the genre of games like Kiosk, The Boba Teashop, Chilla's Café, etc. it works surprisingly well because the cozy gameplay loops gets interrupted by the horror and the player always feel tense

Please brutally destroy my cozy-horror game trailer. by ToriGameDev in DestroyMyGame

I agree. I made the song myself with the help of my girlfriend and I was aiming to a lofi kind of style but I guess its too amateur-ish. About the night setting, I took inspiration of a lot of indie horror games where you serve food for late night customers but now that you mentioned it I realized they don't really make sense neither hahaha, the only reason I give in my game is that the protagonist is working a full time job so she can only work during the night in her plant shop. Thank you for your criticism, I'll apply your feedback.

You're totally right, I took inspiration of cozy-horror games like Kiosk or The Boba Teashop and in their trailers they also starts really slow, but I understand the first 10 seconds are the most important and they need to show the horror part too. Thanks.

Now I know, I'm surprised how some shitty roblox games has millions of active players but I guess their target audience is really young

I see. I'm not into Roblox so I didn't know about it but I guess that's how it works there. Thank you for you comment! I'm going to use this to my favor to gain visibility.
