Let’s Live in Harmony: Infold Games Believes ‘Cozy’ Nonviolent AAA Games Have Huge Potential
There should be more games in the vein of Love and Deepspace and Infinity Nikki.
Infold Games, the international arm of the Chinese publisher Papergames, says there is a substantial unmet demand within the AAA market for non-violent titles. The company made this claim in an interview with Video Games Chronicle, pointing to the commercial success of the romance simulator Love and Deepspace and the dress-up adventure Infinity Nikki as supporting evidence.
Our experience with Love and Deepspace and Infinity Nikki shows that emotionally rich, non‑violent games can capture a broad Western audience and find commercial success. Where such hits were once mainly associated with indie developers, large-scale titles are now breaking into mainstream popularity. The market is far from saturated — demand for well-crafted, cozy experiences is enormous.
Love and Deepspace, which launched in early 2024, has drawn more than 70 million players worldwide. The romance-driven, emotionally focused title has repeatedly topped the free and top-grossing app charts in the U.S. and other markets. Downloads of the fashionable, stylish Infinity Nikki quickly surpassed the 20 million mark.
