Scoreboardgames, a solo developer announces a cozy shop simulator with Tiny Shop, slated for release next year on Steam

From Press Release:

Tiny Shop: Make It Cozy is a cozy shop simulator with a warm atmosphere and slow-paced, relaxing gameplay.

Welcome to a little store on a quiet street. The scent of coffee fills the air, soft morning sunlight streams through the windows, and on the shelves lie the fruits of your care—handmade candles, knitted socks, and rare flea market finds.
Your task is to turn this humble space into a charming destination for lovers of atmosphere and comfort.

Decorate the facade, design your displays, follow customer tastes, and stay on top of trends. Welcome regular visitors and create a space people want to return to again and again.
And in the evening—alone with the silence—rearrange the layout, add new décor, and prepare for another fulfilling day.

Tiny Shop: Make It Cozy is a game about peace, care, and the quiet beauty of everyday life.
It’s being made with love by a solo developer inspired by the architecture of small homes.

🏡 About the Studio

Score Board Games is a small studio founded by architect Rostislav Nikolaev.
We create emotional, visually expressive games with a strong focus on atmosphere.

Our previous project, Unforgotten: Ordinance, was a psychological horror exploring Slavic folklore and post-Soviet decay.

After that intense experience, I decided to take a break and try solo development—this is how Tiny Shop was born.
For me, it became a peaceful haven and a way to tell a story without words—through interiors, light, and a love of small details.
