   Fellow gamers, is there something like a "cozy roguelike" (besides Balatro) you'd recommend? Maybe that sounds bizarre, but it's exactly what I'm in the mood for.

     @killyourfm don't know about roguelike but Eastward was a cozy masterpiece.

     @cienmilojos Wow, the art direction on this looks superb! Thanks for the recommendation. I might have to sink into this one.

     @killyourfm I've been playing "He is coming" which maybe fits that bill?

     It's pretty low-stakes at least.

     @killyourfm I sunk a lot of hours into Dungeon Clawler.

     @aukondk CLAW MACHINE. DECK BUILDER!
     That sounds so damn intriguing! Thanks for the recommendation.

     @aukondk yyyyep, I can see why! Just got to floor 15 on my first run and still going. It's very addicting and enjoyable.

     @killyourfm Maybe Backpack Hero fits the bill somewhat? Pack stuff neatly into your backpack and it basically fights for you. Bit of a relaxed/tidy angle but also not 100% cozy.

     @cpy Second recommendation for this one! I'm going to check it out. As a backpacker, I kind of have a thing for efficient (necessary) organizing.

     If you're a fan of Miyazaki/Ghibli, then keep an eye out for a little Hayao cameo in the beginning section!

     Huge thanks to everyone who offered recommendations!

     I ended up landing on two games. One called "Winter Burrow" which is exactly the kind of vibe I was searching for. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3008740/Winter_Burrow/

     AND a ridiculously addicting little game called Dungeon Clawler.

     @mortalglitch Nice! Yea that claw mechanic… there’s something so oddly soothing about listening to it move across the screen.

     Happy gaming!

     @killyourfm Grabbed Winter Burrow as well. Been looking forward to playing it. Dungeon Clawler has been a blast.
