Put on the kettle and wrap yourself in your favourite throw: we're dorking out about cozy games. What is a cozy game? Did covid hasten the cozy craze? Are cozy games even REAL games? How many times can you say 'cozy' before it loses all meaning as a word? Are cozy games just a millennial sedative used in a desperate attempt reduce the existential sting of a world gone mad? Cuddle up, steep that tea, pop in your ear buds and lets get cozy!
