In partnership with Twitch, IGN, GameSpot, and Guerrilla Collective, Wholesome Direct aims to reach more gamers this year than ever. Rightfully so, because the Direct will showcase over 75 indie titles! The list includes more popular chill indie games such as Ooblets, Unpacking Life, Parallives, and The Gecko Gods. The Direct seems to take its cues from Nintendo, which matches their vibe as the home for many of the world's biggest wholesome franchises.

The Wholesome Direct will take place during the Guerilla Collective's digital games festival. The Direct will happen on June 12 at 1 PM ET. Meanwhile, the entire digital games festival itself will happen on two days, one week apart: June 5 and June 12. Sign up on the Guerilla Collective website to get an invitation to attend the games festival.

Wholesome games have become more prevalent nowadays, not like from the onset of gaming when the edgiest and violent gets the most attention. Wholesome games do have fans, too. These indie developers know that there's a market for the chill games they make. For example, one of the biggest wholesome games today comes from the aforementioned Nintendo. Animal Crossing: New Horizons sold really well, shipping over 20.9 million copies. Based on this example, it seems like players would rather decorate their house and plant flowers while locked up in their homes. But of course, not-so-wholesome (but still kid-friendly) games like Fortnite still make the biggest money, so that's where most of the industry heads towards.
