Super Cozy Video Games

[@Martin-iz7uh]

Ella, thank you so much for this! Cozy/wholesome games are a special interest of mine. Ever since I was a kid, games have helped me understand myself and others better, as weird as it sounds. Started with Barbie games and Nancy Drew games, and now I'm obsessed with Disney Dreamlight Valley, Animal Crossing, etc. I also really like Pretty Princess Magical Island! It makes me so happy.

Wylde Flowers is another favourite of mine. You run a little farm inherited from your granny on an island with a lovely little community - and you are a witch! Your granny will die though early in the story, which is ofc sad but comes expected.

I absolutely LOVE that you put Powerwash Simulator on here! I have no idea why this game is so much fun either, but it really is! I will definitely be checking out the rest of these. ❤

Dorfromantik is one of my favorite games! It's a super cozy countryside-building game. It has some mathy/puzzle elements to it that I really enjoy, but there are lots of different modes in the game that slightly changes how the game is played

Zen Koi is a super mellow game where you are a fish swimming around.

Love you!!!! I like your out loud thoughts! ❤❤❤

You would probably love Grow: Song of Evertree!!! It is my absolute favorite! Its all about using alchemy to grow world seeds and they are randomized in so many cool ways! The character customization makes me laugh so much. Its adorable and unique! I also love Cozy Grove (hidden object animal crossing), Dragon Caffi (baking and exploration), and Calico (cat exploration and shopkeeper)! TY for sharing!!!

Power Wash Simulator is a great game. The DLC is really good as well.

Hi Ella! Great video, I've played most of these games. My boyfriend and I am playing Coral Island at the moment and really enjoying it. Gaming really helps both of us with our autism and me with my ME and fibro x

[@MatildeM]

Mochicats collection is one of my favourites too. It has a comforting effect for me. Thank you for this video!

Thanks Ella! I think I would like many of these! I have never been much of a gamer, but I want to start because I think it could help me regulate too :)

From your videos a year ago and watching your videos now, you seem so much more open and vibrant and yourself! :) unmasking looks good on you!

I have a couple of these already, and I have a couple more to suggest. *Spiritfarer* is good. It’s one where you sail around completing tasks for people on their way to the spirit world. They need a certain closure before they cross over. It might get a bit emotional especially for someone who’s grieving but the game itself is super calming, and you have all sorts of crafting and cooking and fishing tasks, soothing music and satisfying sound effects. *House Flipper* turned out to be more fun than I expected. You clean and redecorate houses, basically, and there are DLCs with gardening (highly recommend, otherwise you’ll be selling houses with long grass and mowing the grass is one of the most satisfying activities), farming, and other stuff. The only upsetting things I can think of might be that some houses have roaches (they warn you when you reach one of these and have an option to switch it off in the settings), and a couple of Halloween themed houses with spooky stuff happening. It’s possible to clear those houses of their hauntings, though. *Unpacking* is a good one, though sometimes it can get a little frustrating trying to find the right room and place for an item. *Dorfromantik* is a nice puzzle game with soft music where you place hexagonal tiles with geographic features and build a landscape. Completing tasks like connecting a certain number of houses or trees gets you more tiles. And there’s any number of cat finding games, like *A Building Full of Cats* and *A Castle Full of Cats*. Also a frog based one, I think it was just called *100 Frogs*? I just know Steam has loads of these. I also recommend the tablet games *I Love Hue* and *I Love Hue 2*. Cute names and very satisfying color matching. My (grown or mostly grown) daughters also love these two: *Placid Plastic Duck Simulator* - haven’t played it myself but it’s about collecting rubber duckies. *Wobbledogs* - breeding and raising strange and very challenged dogs in little playrooms. Also have not played it.

I play House Flipper every night to decompress from my day.

[@Alexxx-f8z]

I highly advice Terra Niel (Steam). It is a game about restoring nature and has very soothing music.

[@delit3084]

Thank you for recommendations! All of the games look so nice ❤ Do you play mobile games? If so, maybe you can make a video about them too?

[@vamosqsepuede_4622]

Looks so cute:3

[@Gntlplaces]

You sweetheart!

[@Robin.starling]

Did you used to play RuneScape around 2005 ?

[@Martin-iz7uh]

I loved Rune Scape as a child. As an adult I have played Wizard101 as well, kind of similar.

Hi Ella, hi everyone. Can anyone recommend an online private service where I can get an autism diagnosis? Also for ADHD if possible. The NHS are taking ages.

[@mummymoomoomummymoomoo8443]

Psychiatry uk do Asd private diagnosis, adhd diagnosis is through nhs due to demand at the moment with them though. Do your own research though on whether this is the right provider for you. X

[@Lyrawolfbane]

Animal crossing is my favorite!
