Is Cozy Game Restoration free?

No. It is a paid Steam game at $14.99. The free demo used to exist and, as of 7 November 2026, its store record no longer opens. There is no official phone package. Pages that promise a free download are not the studio’s checkout.

Spanish-language searches for “gratis” hit the same paid game. I am not building a separate Spanish page. The answer is the same sentence: de pago, $14.99, demo retirado.

Why the free results look convincing

Aggregator sites fill the search page for “free download” because that phrase is popular, not because Parasol Corp posted a giveaway. I will name the pattern and I will not link gogunlocked, steamrip, or similar hosts. A redeem-code giveaway is also absent: the studio site, the Steam page, and the news posts I read do not publish codes.

Bundles do not make it free either. The ReStory bundle is $31.48. That is a discount on two paid games, not a zero price.

Questions

Was it free during Next Fest?

The demo was free. The full game was not. The demo is no longer listed.

Is the soundtrack free if I own the game?

No. It is a separate $4.99 item.

Can a friend gift it?

Steam’s normal gifting rules apply. That is still a paid copy, just paid by someone else.
