i was a teenage exocolonist is SO GOOD. the writing, the art, the characters, the sheer number of choices - it’s a fantastic narrative game (though it does deal with some heavier topics, the game does provide content warnings!)

I'm so happy I Was a Teenage Exocolonist is getting (a little) more attention. It's easily one of my favorite games. The first playthrough is so rough and *super* heavy but the game gets easier and cozier each replay. Now, 7 or 8 endings later, I sometimes boot it up just to relax and enjoy the vibes.

Same here, I've played it a lot last year, and I've been going back to it every now and then and now it really feels cozy. 😊

Switch games I think more people should know about: Mutazione, a slightly eerie cozy narrative based game, involving plants you get from exploring, to take home and grow with music (different music for different plants). You learn more about the locals and their relationships, and your own relationships with your family, as you progress. It’s a little eerie, a little sad sometimes, but I think it might appeal to a lot of people that just never heard of it; merchant of the skies, which has similar mechanics to the Tradewinds games, for people that played them, but with more story and lore to discover, and you get new locations by exploring when you think you have enough fuel. I know there’s others, but I forgot wile I was figuring out how to explain these two without spoilers.

Mutazione is one of my favorites! I played it several years ago, but I still think about it.

This channel is so dangerous for my wallet, I’ve been really getting into cozy games and really loved your recommendations! I’m not sure if this is considered cozy per say, but I’d really love to recommend a visual novel called Jack Jeanne to you! It’s about a girl who has to cross dress to remain a student at the drama school of her dreams. While the voice over is in Japanese, soundtrack is absolutely lovely, and since it’s a drama school, the plays contain rhythm game elements (you can choose your difficulty!), but the highlight is definitely the characters and their relationships with each other. It was one of the top 20 switch games last year, and I feel like it may be something new and interesting for you to try!

Sounds like a similar plot to a manga series I once read called Hana Kimi. I loved that manga, so thank you for reminding me of it... will definitely try this game if it ever has a decent price drop.

Oh, LOVE to see Edith Finch here. Such an incredible game. The pop-up book style is just so interesting, and each character you experience the story of having an entirely different vibe is just SO GOOD. What a masterfully done gem of a game.

Bandle Tale, Beacon Pines and Cozy Grove are def. on my top ten all time list.

Great video, I've added a couple of these games to my wishlist! It also makes me want to play Ooblets again, I really loved that game but never got around to finishing it.

Technically maybe not a cosy game but I really enjoyed Tangle Tower and would recommend it to anyone interested in a whodunit mystery / puzzle game. It features brilliant voice acting and character design and I think is great value for money.

I love all the indie games you play because it opens me up to new games to enjoy! Could you also try Potions: A Curious Tale? I’ve been thinking of buying it but I’d like to see if it’s worth it.

I get teased by my Battlefield buddies because of my playing cozy games like Stardew Valley, My Time at Portia, and Rune Factory 5. But I like all kinds of games - Battlefield, Cyberpunk 2077, and Forza Horizon 5. Sometimes I just need to sit back, relax, and play a game that is designed to frustrate me (like Elden Ring currently does - often!). Thanks for your recommendations as I continue my journey to 'coziness.' ;)

I’m so glad you’re showing Bandle Tale some love! 💕 super excited to try out Crayola Adventures! 🖍️

Love the list! Some cozy games I haven’t seen content creators talk about that I HIGHLY recommend are Hercule Poirot: The First Cases, Call of the Sea, Chants of Sennaar, Detective Grimoire and its sequel Tangle Tower (you don’t have to play Detective Grimoire to play Tangle Tower), Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (the whole Ace Attorney series is phenomenal), Heaven’s Vault, the Nancy Drew series (I’d suggest trying Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon or Warnings at Waverly Academy first), Inbento, Born of Bread, Jenny LeClue, Cats Organized Neatly, Lego Harry Potter, and the Cats Hidden In series. Some of these games are PC/Steam, and others are on Switch or both

Great list! Ogu and the Secret Forest is in early access right now, and I hope it comes to the switch because I am having so much fun with it!

I recently got my own switch after playing family games and watching my son (plus playing animal crossing). Your reviews have helped me fall in love with the switch!! But I’m hoping you’ll review Gris. It looks amazing and I’m debating getting just because the game is so beautiful!

Loved this video! I found some new things! And of course my husband made a comment about how "I guess its that time of the week where a random brit will cost me money" LOL.

I’m so happy to see that Doraemon got a little shout out, it’s my favorite of the story of seasons franchise. The OG and friends of the great kingdom 😊. My underrated cozy game would have to be Sky: children of the light.

APICO is a game that NEVER makes it onto anyone’s list and I’m honestly shocked. It’s the most adorable, relaxing, self-paced little game. It’s about bee conservation. It’s only $20 and they’ve done several pretty massive updates. They’ve added butterflies, underwater exploration, I think there is also fishing now, too. The graphics are super cute, the music and ambiance is so relaxing, and the premise is also wonderful. It’s by Whitethorn games. Please check it out!

Yoshi's Crafted World is the entire reason I bought a Switch in the first place. Your channel helped me find a bunch of new games to play

Ive been playing Bandle Tale and honestly it’s so good. I am at a bit of a dead part where i don’t really get xp from gathering anymore and need like 50 to unlock new skills but slowly figuring it out.

I've been watching your content since October and I'm really enjoying it so I thought I would recommend a game you may or may not have played. FEZ. This is my favourite game of all time and I think it would be great if you mentioned it on one of your cozy lists. From art style to game play to soundtrack, you can't lose.

I always enjoy your suggestions, I’ve played cosmic wheel sisterhood and it was soooooo good. You should try going under (roguelike with so much fun colours, and so much character, a very unique game) and lost words beyond the page (similar to the concept of beacon pines) , both can be bought under 10$ and are amazing ! 😊

love you eeowna thank you for this I've been subed since like 12k

Oooh, I never heard about a couple of these! I'll have to give them a look sometime! I'm interested in Bandle Tale, honestly! Ever since the first trailer, the idea hooked me! But, that text looks so small on my Switch Lite. I have readers, but don't know how much it helps. Is there an option to make the text bigger? I really want to try, but if I can't read what I have to do, that could be a bit of a problem! I want to mention a bit of an oddball game. I have not seen anyone talking about it. Kaichu: The Kaiju Dating Simulator. We play as Gigachu, looking for love among other kaiju. Choosing our date, we then travel to various landmarks. Kaiju dating seems to revolve around destroying these landmarks, but it also depends on how compatible we are. During the date, we answer questions and if we are successful, not only is the landmark completely gone, but we also get a lovely kiss with our date. Each run through is short, but I love every minute of it. What really makes this work for me and brings it together is our two news anchors, Brevity and Lucky. They naturally can't speak the kaiju language but it's clear they start to understand them more with each date. Apparently, kaiju dating makes for a great news story! And it's through them that we also learn what is being asked of us and we can reply accordingly. Also, that title screen music... I could listen to it for a long time!

1:33 are you referring to the Yarn Yoshi Amiibo? Technically speaking that was made for the previous game, Yoshi's Woolly World. If you have a 3DS or WiiU I’d definitely recommend checking those out as well, love the style of them. Though good luck now that the eShop for those has closed down. I’m personally a huge fan of Visual Novel type games. Stuff like Cofee Talk, VA-11 HALL-A, Life is Strange, etc. One I’ve not heard enough people talk about is Arcadia Fallen. In it you play as an apprentice alchemist who lives in a small town where some strange stuff has been happening. When you rescues a spirit forest the two of your fates become entwined and you must do your best to discover what exactly is going on.

There is a puzzle Cozy gamecalled the pedestrian which is worth checking out as you are a little stick figure that you see on signs and you have to solve the puzzle on one sign to get to another. It's way cooler than my description though 😆 😅

I finally picked up oonblets earlier this year and I cannot stop!

I love your videos, and I was wondering if you have played either A Short Hike or Alba: A Wildlife Adventure? Both are short and cute exploration games that are very chill and fun! I don't always hear people talk about them, they are amazing games! Both are pretty cheap, short hike is like 8 bucks and Alba is currently on sale for 7 bucks.

Girl I was replaying golden sun recently and the dialogue was incredible! Might give 7:04 this a try!

not only was ooblets fun as hell but the soundtrack is a bangerrrr 💃

You should keep calling him Mint Roll. It’s adorable!

Balatro is my ultimate cosy game at the moment 😊

SNUUUFKIN! I have been waiting for this game for such a long time!

"The Pokemon grind" is one the best things I EVER seen in gaming!

YESSSSSS EXOCOLONIST RECOGNITION I LOVE IT HEREEEE

These are my favourite gaming vids, I often prefer the games no one talks about

Yoshi's Crafted World is amazing, and it has an easy mode where you can fly, what's not to love? (the answer for me is the timed levels, I am the worst at them and I'll never 100% this game for that reason 😅) Pokémon Snap 2 is also one of my favourites, it's so beautiful I even printed out some of the pictures I took. My 2 problems with it are that you have to grind and repeat levels several times in a very specific way to finish some of the challenges (many of which are impossible to figure out without a walkthrough) which can make trying to get 100% boring and frustrating at times The other thing is that you're on a set path that doesn't change. Maybe if they ever make Snap 3 it could be a partially open map where you can actually run around yourself to try and take pictures (kind of like the photo challenge they added to the Sc/Vi dlc)

Beacon Pines gives me similar vibes to Oxenfree, both of which I played in 2022 but am super tempted to replay

I’ve been debating for a long while on whether to get bandle tale. I may have to give it a chance!

Dragon Caffi could be a chill cozy underrated title.

Pokemon snap is soooo underrated! I was sooo excited for it as I'd wanted a sequel to the N64 game for ages and it delivered. I really wish it was more popular so that we could have gotten some paid DLC 😢

I love your vids :)

Ooblets is so cute!

I first played “what remains of Edith finch” about 10 yrs ago. It was one of my fav games of all time. I just wish they would have made more like it because it was so short. The only bad thing about it I would say is it didn’t feel complete. I never understood the ending. It felt like there should have been more and explained it more.

I remember so many years ago me and my sister would play a pokemon game (about taking pictures) on the nintendo 64 (yes we were little) and we had so much fun playing that… i will check the new version as a know its fun as simple as it sounds 😂

Have you've ever played heaven's gate before? I recently finished my first run and I feel like it has a high cozy factor! It's entirely story driven and incredibly interesting
