Rest in Paradise

Ghosts are people too. Or, more accurately, ghostswerepeople too. They need a helpful hand every now and then just like the rest of us.

Give ghosts all the help they need in the new slice-of-life gameCozy Grovefrom developer Spry Fox (who madeAlphabear).Cozy Groveis about exploring a haunted island and performing tasks for the local ghosts, eventually restoring color and joy. There’s a prominent crafting angle, probably by collecting a lot of resources to eventually make items the ghosts need.

It sounds like the perfect thing to kill a little time with each day, much likeAnimal CrossingorStardew Valley. Spry Fox saysCozy Grovehas a campaign that reaches beyond 40 hours, and is “designed to span months of playtime.”

Cozy Grovecomes to PC (Steamand Epic), PS4, Switch, and Xbox One sometime in the first half of next year. Until then, the ghosts will have to live in misery just like the rest of us. There is no escape.
