For those of us in the northern hemisphere, we’re on the precipice of winter - and I’d argue that there’s no better time to indulge in some so-called cosy gaming.
In fact, as I’m typing, I’m looking out of a window as snow relentlessly falls.
Oh, how it is making me long to curl up with a cup of tea, a blanket, and a delightful little title on myNintendo Switch.

I mention all of this though as there’s one cosy title that I’d like to highlight.
