I find it funny that Cozy Grove is exactly the kind of cozy game hiding a really sinister plot title they’re talking about but there’s no mention of it. You know, the game where you (a girl scout style spirit guide) get sent to an island all by yourself for your first scouting adventure and then shipwreck, essential marooning you on an island, and your Troup leader then realizes she sent you to the wrong island but not to worry, she’ll rally to recover you. Eventually. If she remembers and can figure out where you are. In the meantime she’ll comfort your parents as best she can and remind them they signed a waiver and can’t sue. Just you know. Help the spirits that haunt the island you’re on until rescue arrives. If you can get them to move on, more power to you, you can have a badge for that.

They also made The Adventures of Cookie and Cream, which was a pretty cool coop game back in the day

Oh, then i have no doubt it’s dark as shit. He’s a bad bear! A very bad bear! And he’s Professor Chaos. See how this game twisted his fragile little mind?
