“Cozy” and “cleaning” might sound like polar opposites, but Hozy’s cozy world provides the perfect cure-all for those looking to unwind with some spring cleaning.
A title about slowing down, Come On Studio and tinyBuild are cozying up at the end of this busy March with their new cleaning title Hozy.
See whether one should tap into its calm flow with our review…
Hozy Review
Featuring a number of spots across the city, Hozy provides the tools to properly restore music halls, artist workshops, and other ventures to prime condition.
Let’s be real – picking up literal mountains of trash in your sister’s small apartment sounds like work, right?
Trust us on this one – Hozy provides the perfect moment of zen, truly immersing players across its many micro worlds.
In Hozy, it’s just you, a paint roller (and your choice of three colors), and peace.
Each of Hozy’s isometric areas pay host to a natural task flow, helping us personally unwind as we helped beautify each world. Playing with a keyboard and mouse, Hozy’s streamlined controls make things easy-breezy, literally allowing one to pick things up at the press of a button.
While some checklist items focus on the minutiae, Hozy ensures players have what’s needed to bring beauty and spark joy. Squeegeeing said windows or doing any other of tasks in Hozy’s provides a satisfying dopamine rush – complete with a sound effect and flash of brilliance we never tired of.
On that note, Hozy’s light time commitment respects the player. Each cleaning job on our end clocked in at a swift 15 minutes, ensuring work in Hozy never becomes too burdensome. No need to worry about racing against the clock or any sort of deadlines – one is truly their own master in Hozy.
Of course, players are also rewarded at the end of each Hozy cleaning session with a bunch of moving boxes filled to the brim with goodies.
That’s where one can really sink the hours into Hozy!
It is here players can truly unleash their creativity in Hozy. Between the packing peanuts lie tiger rugs (that roar!), dinosaur toys (that also roar!) paintings, plants, and a wealth of other items waiting for the perfect spot.
There’s a lot of stuff to unpack (so to speak) in each of Hozy’s boxes – make sure you have enough room for the “Huge Things” box containing pianos and the like!
Once done, players can then tap into Hozy’s photo mode for the perfect shot.
Hozy also prides itself on a great immersive soundtrack that properly sets the mood.
Composed by Yann van der Cruyssen (of Stray and Cave Story fame), each area has music that builds upon itself as one progresses. We played through the title with a pair of quality Sennheiser headphones, truly getting lost in Hozy’s many worlds.
“Cozy” and “cleaning” might sound like polar opposites, but Hozy’s cozy world provides the perfect cure-all for those looking to unwind with some spring cleaning.

Hellraiser: Revival is at its best when its horror gamification takes a back seat, providing a world that is equal parts depraved and disturbing, scary and thrilling.
Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is an excellent addition to an already meaty game.
Control Resonant is another masterclass in storytelling from Remedy Entertainment, but its potential for greatness is hindered by a completely detached open-world experience.
Whether taking on Daredevils or tapping into its deep customization elements, Hot Wheels: Infinite Rush and its vast open world truly lets players race beyond the track.
While The Blood of Dawnwalker and its dark fantasy vampire setting is well worth exploring, best wait for a few patches before exploring its vast open world.
The way of the samurai shines bright in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, marking a triumphant return for Capcom’s long-running action RPG series.
