...what does actually define a cozy game?

I feel like I've seen people use it in multiple ways. Sometimes it's about relaxed gameplay: something without fighting or time pressure. Sometimes it's about comforting themes: low-conflict life simulation. And I guess a lot of the time the two overlap.

I don't think it has a proper definition. Just a game that makes people feel cozy, I guess.

"Cozy" makes me think of curling up in a big fluffy blanket with a mug of hot cocoa and reading a book. I'd call a game cozy if it gave me the same feeling.

Low stakes and none of the typical major triggers - gore, etc. Mostly it is a feeling, which is vague and unhelpful.

Wikipedia says a cozy game is 'a video game which emphasizes non-violence and relaxation. Initially derived from the life simulation genre, cozy games commonly include activities such as gathering and growing plants and nurturing other characters. They often have open-ended goals that encourage self-expression.'

'Wired's Louryn Strampe described the genre as "meant to evoke feelings of warmth, comfort, and peace".'

So...Glitch. Glitch was a cozy game.

I still miss it.
