Gameplay

[edit | edit source]

Cozy Grove is a life simulation game taking place on an island. The player character, whose appearance and apparel can be customized, is tasked with helping spirits, most of whom are anthropomorphic bears, enter the afterlife by completing tasks, that differ depending on the character. The game involves scavenging and crafting for items. The game takes place in real time, with no option to skip or forward time. Every day has a new set of tasks for the player.[1]

Development

[edit | edit source]

Cozy Grove was inspired by Animal Crossing. Spry Fox CEO David Edery said he wanted to create a game that is somewhat similar to an iteration of Animal Crossing's formula, but has more focus on story.[2]
