Little Problems: A Cozy Detective Game Launches Today on STEAM

Amplified Games Ltd and Posh Cat Studio are pleased to announce that charming cozy sleuthing game, Little Problems: A Cozy Detective Game, is available to download now on Steam priced £9.99 / $9.99 / €9.99. Players can watch the launch trailer here.



Little Problems is the debut release from a small, passionate, female-led Indonesian developer, Posh Cat Studio. Having always been a fan of the detective genre in comics, games, movies - and with an interest in Lovecraft and horror - Posh Cat started work on an investigative murder mystery game. However they quickly realised spending months or even years immersed in crime and horror content might be harmful to their mental health.

Melisa, Lead Developer and Founder at Posh Cat Studio, said: “We turned to cozy games and cute pictures to escape the blood and gore. Little Problems was born out of a love for wholesome, safe and approachable content but still with a passion for investigation and detection.”

In Little Problems players work through the ‘little problems’ in the life of Mary, a university freshman student. Mary oversleeps, missing the first lecture of the day. Her class assignment is due, but she's forgotten where to meet her study group! These are a few examples of everyday little problems that require problem-solving, minor sleuthing and resolution.

Melisa, Lead Developer and Founder at Posh Cat Studio, said: “Little Problems focuses on solving mysteries based on life’s minor inconveniences and everyday misunderstandings, and of course, little problems. In Little Problems, detective work is about connecting with friends, understanding the small yet significant issues of daily life and finding joy in the simplicity of resolution. It’s not about saving the world, it’s about enriching it, one little problem at a time.”

Key Features:

Solve Life’s Little Problems: Help Mary through life’s little challenges, small in scale, big in charm.

Handcrafted Puzzles: Each level is a unique scenario, lovingly designed to be clever, approachable and satisfying.

10 Distinct Cases: Each case presents a different scenario with its own set of puzzles and surprises.

Helpful Hints When You Need Them: If you get stuck, you can see where mistakes are, keeping the challenge fun, not frustrating.

Easy to Pick Up, Hard to Put Down: Simple mechanics that grow into playful twists and surprising solutions.

Little Problems is available to download now priced £9.99 / $9.99 / €9.99 on Steam. A launch discount of 10% is available until September 23rd on Steam.

Look out for more information on X, TikTok and Bluesky. The game is published by Amplified Games Ltd. This is their second game following the launch of Polterguys: Possession Party earlier this year.
