Belgian indie studio Slappy Inc. is bringing heart and charm to this year’s Steam Next Fest with Mazey Village, a cozy puzzle-adventure game that blends community building with sliding-tile mazes. Ahead of the event, a free demo and new trailer are now available, giving players an early chance to experience this wholesome town-restoring journey.
A Tornado, a Broken Village, and a New Beginning
In Mazey Village, players step into a world left in disarray after a tornado scatters homes, pets, and precious belongings across maze-like lands. The goal is simple yet heartfelt: solve puzzles, recover what was lost, and rebuild a thriving community. Each maze solved helps restore the village, making it more lively and welcoming.
Cozy Gameplay with a Wholesome Twist
The game mixes classic puzzle-solving with cozy-life mechanics, offering players a relaxing yet rewarding loop. Along the way, you’ll meet villagers in need, pet cows, befriend penguins, and encounter quirky critters who may lend a helping paw. Every interaction helps bring the community closer together, making the village feel more like home.
