Our take: Little things like this make a huge difference

Even the game’s glitches are cute

Valley of the Stars is one of the most popular cozy games out there and it’s little details like these that set it apart in a space full of competitors. The game is so complete that even its flaws are cute, doing silly things like making chickens change color in the middle of a nap or making the horses multiply inexplicably.

Situations like these make for a more interesting and silly play, even if it’s by accident. Other wonderful moments were created by solo developer Concerned Ape, who imbued the game with love and attention to every detail. All of this, combined with the silly accidental “features,” makes Valley of the Stars an enchanting and wonderful experience.
