Top indie games of November 2026

November 2026 is going to be remembered as the month when GTA 6 finally comes out. After several delays, Rockstar has it set for 19 November and half the world already has that day marked on the calendar. I get it, but if you also love farms with cats and quiet afternoons under a blanket, this month is packed with indie games for every taste too.

I’ve picked ten that come out in November and that are on my list, from an aquarium where you draw the fish yourself to a cow that keeps you company while you deliver milk by bike. They’re sorted by release date so you don’t miss any.

Loftia

• Title: Loftia
• Developer: Qloud Games
• Publisher: Qloud Games
• Genre: Cozy farming and life MMO
• Platforms: PC and Mac
• Release date: 3 November 2026 (early access)

We kick off the month with Loftia, a cozy MMO where you build your life in a sky full of floating islands. You farm, craft tools and decorate your home on your own or with other people, because the world is shared and keeps expanding as the community moves forward. What I like most is its sustainable side, with quests to help your neighbours and leave the place better than you found it. It launches in early access, so it will keep adding content bit by bit.

MONOMOON

• Title: MONOMOON
• Developer: Gentle Giant
• Publisher: Gentle Giant
• Genre: Exploration and puzzle adventure
• Platforms: PC
• Release date: 11 November 2026

MONOMOON is for anyone who loves figuring things out on their own. You start with no instructions in a tiny open world under the moonlight and have to work out what to do by solving puzzles and spotting secrets hidden in plain sight. Its creators describe it as a “metroidbrainia” that takes around ten hours, although they warn that the credits are not the end and there are mysteries left for whoever keeps looking. It mixes platforming with point and click, and plays better with keyboard and mouse than with a controller.

Dice Hoarder

• Title: Dice Hoarder
• Developer: DieCorp Games
• Publisher: DieCorp Games
• Genre: Cozy organising puzzle
• Platforms: PC
• Release date: 13 November 2026

If tidying things up relaxes you, write this one down. In Dice Hoarder you are hired to restock a dice shop with more secrets than it seems, and your job is to put together sets of seven RPG dice (D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20 and the percentile) by looking at the colour and material of each one. There are more than 400 sets to complete with no timers and no rush, since the next day doesn’t start until the shelves are full. Just seeing the dice matched up by colour already brings me peace.

Drawquarium

• Title: Drawquarium
• Developer: byKaleb
• Publisher: rokaplay
• Genre: Creative aquarium sim
• Platforms: PC
• Release date: 13 November 2026

Drawquarium arrives on the same day, and I already told you about it when it announced its date. You draw your own fish in a simple editor and release them into an aquarium you decorate with plants and driftwood, where they swim around as if they were real. It’s one of those games you want to keep open while you listen to music or chat with someone.

Spirit Crossing

• Title: Spirit Crossing
• Developer: Spry Fox
• Publisher: Spry Fox
• Genre: Cozy social sim MMO
• Platforms: PC and Nintendo Switch 2
• Release date: 16 November 2026

Spirit Crossing comes from Spry Fox, the studio behind Cozy Grove, something you can feel in its gentle world full of spirits. It’s a cozy MMO set in the Crossing, a place between the human world and the Spirit Realm where you make friends with tiny bears and ride alpacas with your friends. Every player joins a village that grows thanks to the work of the whole community. If you’ve been missing a cozy game to drop into every day to see what’s new, this one looks like it.

Littlelands

• Title: Littlelands
• Developer: Rafael Martín and Kyle Creamer
• Publisher: Apogee Entertainment
• Genre: Cozy exploration adventure
• Platforms: PC
• Release date: 16 November 2026 (early access)
• Demo: Available on Steam

Littlelands puts you in the shoes of a big-headed little creature that wanders the region at its own pace, growing berries or sitting on a wooden bench to watch the sunset. There’s real adventure too, with dangerous places and quirky characters who need your help, but the charm lies in living day to day without hurrying. It launches in early access and has a demo on Steam if you want to try it first.

Milki Delivery

• Title: Milki Delivery
• Developer: Blibloop and Doot
• Publisher: Doot Tiny Games and Wholesome Games Presents
• Genre: Cozy delivery adventure
• Platforms: PC, Mac and Linux
• Release date: 17 November 2026
• Demo: Available on Steam

This one won me over with the cow. In Milki Delivery you play as Neha, a young woman who delivers milk by bike across an almost abandoned countryside with the help of Milki, her cow. With what you earn you upgrade the barn and slowly bring the community back to life through small quests with all kinds of colourful characters. It’s a short adventure you play with just the mouse, perfect for a Sunday afternoon.

Toto’s Journey

• Title: Toto’s Journey
• Developer: Hanuman Games
• Publisher: Hanuman Games and Creata Games
• Genre: Puzzle adventure
• Platforms: PC
• Release date: 18 November 2026
• Demo: Available on Steam

Have you ever wondered what Toto was doing while Dorothy followed the yellow brick road? In Toto’s Journey the cyclone separates him from her and it’s up to you to guide him through an enchanted land inspired by The Wizard of Oz, solving puzzles in forests where the Lion hides or in the mechanical ruins where the Tin Man once lived. I love that they chose the dog as the main character, because it changes the way you see a story we all know.

Cat Cafe Manager 2: Big City Bliss

• Title: Cat Cafe Manager 2: Big City Bliss
• Developer: Roost Games
• Publisher: Roost Games
• Genre: Cozy management
• Platforms: PC
• Release date: 25 November 2026 (early access)
• Demo: Available on Steam

The sequel to Cat Cafe Manager moves to the big city. This time a faerie cat possesses your phone (yes, that’s how it starts) and you find out that something is leaving people lonely and disconnected, so it’s up to you to open a cat cafe and bring the neighbourhood back together. You rescue stray cats that each have their own personality and send them on adventures through a city full of folklore to bring back ingredients for the menu. It launches in early access and the demo is already out.

Orion Blue

• Title: Orion Blue
• Developer: EXLIX
• Publisher: EXLIX
• Genre: Cozy fishing adventure
• Platforms: PC
• Release date: 30 November 2026
• Demo: Available on Steam

We close the month on another planet. Orion Blue is a relaxing fishing game set on an alien world where each region has its own species and its own atmosphere. You can sell what you catch or turn it into resources while you get to know the planet’s inhabitants. The fun twist is an idle mode that lets the game progress on its own, so it works both for playing with full attention and for leaving it in the background while you do something else.

Which one are you picking?

I’ll start with Drawquarium and Milki Delivery, which are the ones I’m most excited to play. GTA 6 can wait until the hype calms down.
