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"
