There’s a new trend in indie gaming that I absolutely love and that is the idea of cozy games. Games that you can just relax in, warm inviting games that you can sit down with a cup of tea and a big blanket and curl up for a long night while the rain pitters against your window. But it got me thinking, can roguelikes be cozy? Let's hop in.
