Cozy walking simulator?!

I saw this game on switch, thought people would like it?! There are a few versions of this game, you walk around places , not just the forest but i dont think has a “main plot” like firewatch

Cozy Woods is a cheap asset flip with literally nothing to do besides looking at all the assets taken directly from the Unity store or wherever they're from.

Impressive how the Switch store has garbage that even Steam doesn't have

"Walking simulator" never actually meant walking simulator. It was supposed to be a derogatory term for games that were much more than walking simulators but weren't considered "real games" by capital-G Gamers™ (mostly pro-Gamergate idiots because of Gone Home) and the name just stuck

Walking simulators are usually narrative- or puzzle-heavy games (or both). What you're looking at is what we call "cash grab"

I do love how you dissected this so much, bit could you also enlighten me on the gone home situation, i've seen the game for a while and thought to try it really soon, so is it bad or something??

It's about a queer relationship

Idiots hate it because they hate queer people. And games primarily featuring queer themes weren't as common in 2013 so they really hated it

Yes it seems like a bit of nonsense... you're going to play it 1x 2x 5x 10x maximum and goodbye! 😂

1 time 15 minutes in daytime, 1 time 10 minutes in nighttime to be never touched again
