Grab Your Honey Jars in Bottled by Bears
Looking for something a little more relaxing than your usual action-packed games? Bottled By Bears, a cozy idle management game from indie developer Monoii Studio, is buzzing toward Steam. The game will officially launch on November 11, 2026, and players can get an early taste during Steam Next Fest, which runs from October 19 to October 26.
In Bottled By Bears, players help a family of adorable bears build and manage their very own honey farm. The main gameplay loop revolves around opening bee packs, discovering new bees, and putting them to work in your hives. Rarer bees and shiny variants produce higher-quality honey, which can be sold for more money and reinvested into new packs and upgrades.
There’s plenty to do beyond simply watching your bees work. Players can collect every bee in the game’s catalogue, customize their farm, and shape colorful flower fields that change depending on which bees they bring into their hives.
The game also lets players sell honey directly to visiting customers or take on larger orders to grow their business. As the farm expands, players can upgrade their hives, selling stand, and unlock new types of bee packs.
Bottled By Bears also features plenty of customization, allowing players to decorate their farm and personalize its flower fields. A free demo is already available on Steam, giving players a chance to see if this cozy honey-making adventure is worth adding to their wishlist.
With its cute bears, buzzing bees, and relaxing management gameplay, Bottled By Bears could be the perfect little escape when you need a break from the chaos.
