I would suggest "a night in the woods", "Roki", "year walk", and even "cult of the lamb" with the easiest setting. I also think something like "Gone Home" could almost be counted as well, as it uses so many of the tropes of horror games, or dating sims like "Hatoful Boyfriend" and "Doki Doki Literature Club" due to the twists of the stories. This is such a great video! I'm definitely looking up the ones mentioned that I don't have yet

I was thinking about "Night in the Woods"! It gets very psychological in the end, but is still cozy. Your character connects deeply with other characters, and the soundtrack is a bop. Great game for Cozy Horror, I completely agree!

Doki Doki is soooo good. I did think about including it because of the cute factor and the fact that it's basically a romance visual novel, but that one gets soooo disturbing at times. (love it though!)

Great video and topic - I like your study idea for cozy games. I've not played any cozy horror games, just Dead by Daylight (meh) and Hello Neighbor (omg, soo much fun). Thanks for the recommendations - I might check out Dredge and definitely Slay the Princess!

[@laelindria]

Thank you so much for watching and I hope you enjoy Dredge and Slay the Princess!
