Cozy Grove
The Astrophysicists Guild have announced their latest game for the Nintendo Switch: Cozy Grove, a slice of life game developed by Spry Fox. It will be released in Early 2021 in Europe and North America.
Here’s a trailer and some details:
Cozy Grove is a slice-of-life game about camping on a haunted island! You are a Spirit Scout, exploring every day to find new hidden secrets and helping the spectral inhabitants of this small paradise. Each ghost you meet has their own needs, but it’s not just the afterlife you have to worry about! There are still-living locals of the island that have their own adventures they’d like you to go on, so pitch your tent and get to work. You’ll cook, fish, and camp alongside some bear-y happy helpers to bring joy to this terrific tropical community. These helpers are, in fact, literal bears.
