Wishlist registration is now available on the store page. The game features five Hololive talents drawn in pixel art: Tokino Sora, Usada Pekora, Shiranui Flare, Shirogane Noel, and Houshou Marine. Each talent autonomously performs actions such as working, resting, and sleeping based on in-game stamina and mood. Players earn coins based on the time talents spend on activities, then use those coins to obtain new furniture. Some furniture items change the talents' actions, and players can freely place beds, computer desks, and decorations to create their own room. The game also includes daily-use features accessed through an in-game smartphone: BGM and ambient sound playback, stream notifications when talents start or schedule streams, schedule management on a calendar, and a Pomodoro timer with configurable focus and break times. HoloCozy is scheduled for release within 2026, with price to be determined. It supports Japanese and English and is a single-player game on Steam.","whyItMatters":"This is the first concrete product reveal from the holo Indie brand, which CCMC positions as a return ecosystem to support fan-made game creators, showing how Hololive's parent company is formalizing fan game development into a publishing pipeline.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Steam store page for HoloCozy is live at store.steampowered.com/app/5040220.
