I write middle-grade whodunnits, so you might want to dismiss my opinion out of hand. But I think cosy games/crime sometimes miss the fact that blankets are only cosy when it's cold outside. A world without conflict / a story without stakes isn't cosy, it's just safe.
We need to talk about the cozyfication of games because it’s a serious disease, possibly as bad as the edgyfication of the 90s and the grittyfication of the 00s.

A bit of Summerfall Studios lore:
One day in 2019, and we were all very exhausted and punchy at the time, Liam responded to a long work thread on Slack with "praise Satan" but autocorrect corrected that to "praise Sarah" and the rest of us were VERY confused. Who is Sarah? What do you mean by that?
