Cozy Grove launch trailer
There’s a bit ofSpiritfarerto it, in that you’re performing your tasks for the departed, but its hand-drawn isometric art also reminds me ofDon’t Starve- only, like, Don’t Starve if it got really into Cbeebies instead of Tim Burton movies.
It has a a dose ofAnimal Crossingto it, too: the events on the island occur in real-time, and your dead chums will only give you so many tasks to perform in a given day. The developers - SpryFox, makers ofAlphabear- say that it’s a 40 hour campaign but “designed to span months of playtime”.
I don’t want to solely describe Cozy Grove in relation to other games, so let me also note that the trailer shows a seagull who wears a sea captain’s hat. Is he one of the ghosts? Is he just a local ferryman? I do not know, but I’m already fond of him. I’ll do whatever he tells me.
I am deeply in the mood for something pleasant and unthreatening to play on this grey, exhausting weekend/month/year, and so I’ll be jumping into the Grove later this weekend. If you want to join me, you can pick up Cozy Grove now fromSteamand theEpic Games Storefor £10.25/$13.50/€11.24.
