Night Rolls Cozy Store Launches on Steam at $9.99, 10% Off First Week

After a development period the author describes as involving bug fixing, polishing, and community feedback, Night Rolls Cozy Store is now available on Steam.

The game casts players as overnight operators of a small convenience store — restocking shelves, serving customers, preparing food, managing prices, and working toward long-term objectives at a self-directed pace. The developer, Hogus, frames the experience as a cozy, relaxing simulation with a warm ambient atmosphere and what the announcement calls "cute visuals."

What changed

  • Full release on Steam following a prior demo phase
  • Base price: $9.99 / €9.99, with regional pricing for other currencies
  • Launch discount: 10% off during the first week of release
  • Post-launch development is planned — Hogus states work on the game will continue after release, guided by player feedback

Hogus credited wishlisters, demo players, bug reporters, and general followers for meaningfully shaping the game ahead of launch.

For players who followed the demo, the store is now open for the long haul — and the first week offers the lowest entry price it's likely to see.
