Deltakosh, the personal studio of developer David Catuhe, opened the Steam store page for CottageCore on September 30. The sandbox village-building game is planned for release on PC via Steam in April 2027, priced at $12.99, with Japanese among its supported languages. Players shape terrain and construct buildings ranging from small houses to castles, adjusting materials, colors, roof shapes, doors, windows, chimneys, lanterns, and ivy. Two modes exist: Creative Mode, where all professions are available from the start, and Grove God Mode, which adds survival elements and a shared mana pool spent on welcoming villagers, planting trees, and placing supplies. Fifteen professions, among them lumberjack, farmer, baker, and reporter, connect through workplaces and production chains. Deer, rabbits, sheep, chickens, and visiting foxes live in the grassland, while dogs, cats, capybaras, and swans can be welcomed as companions. Catuhe developed the game with the open-source 3D engine Babylon.js, which he worked on for 12 years.
The Steam page lists 83 Steam achievements and Steam Cloud support, along with tools for undo and redo, automatic saving, and manual save and load. The game supports Japanese, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), and Simplified Chinese in-game text, and a trailer was published alongside the store page. Catuhe works across games, novels, and digital art, and he also developed the open-source engines Babylon.js and Babylon Lite. CottageCore is being built with Babylon Lite.
Sources diverge on the release date: Denfaminicogamer lists April 14, 2027, while Automaton states April 15, 2027. Both agree the platform is PC via Steam. In the grassland, villagers and wild animals such as deer, rabbits, sheep, and chickens live, and the animals graze, drink, find mates, and raise young. Foxes, small birds, and frogs may visit from outside the village. Seasons, weather, and day and night change the grassland and ponds, and players must secure food and water for the animals and stockpile supplies such as food and firewood before winter.
