The Wholesome Direct is again back in 2023 to highlight nearly 80 new and upcoming games with relaxing and wholesome vibes. 

Hosted by Wholesome Direct regular Jenny Windom, who will be joined by newcomers Gabsmolders and Kennedy Rose, aka Cozy Gamers, the 2023 showcase will feature interviews and reveals from fan-favourite games like Fields of Mistria, Go-Go Town!, KarmaZoo, Mineko’s Night Market, Venba and more.

There will also be merch available via The Yetee shortly after the showcase finisher, which is benefitting AbleGamers, a charity organization that aims to improve the lives of people with disabilities through the power of video games.

“We’re excited to partner with AbleGamers for this year’s Wholesome Direct,” said Matthew Taylor, the founder of Wholesome Games and director of Wholesome Direct. “We believe that video games have the power to bring joy and connection to people worldwide, and AbleGamers has been doing incredible work to make that possible for all players. We’re honoured to support their mission.”
