Cozy Grove is a life simulation game from Spry Fox, camping on a haunted but cute developing island. Arriving as a Spirit Scout, you’ll help out the island every day and help the local ghosts with their objectives. As you help out the ghosts and decorate the island you will bring back more color to the island. By discovering the island and forest you’ll find new items to craft, make friends with the ghosts, embark on quests, and decorate your cozy island to bring it back to life. Cozy Grove can be played on numerous platforms such as; the Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite, Xbox consoles and series, Playstation 4, Apple iOS, Microsoft Windows, tvOS, and Mac OS. The game-style of Cozy Grove is quite unique as Spry Fox often refers to it as a ‘2D hand-drawn art style.’ The style explores a sketchbook-like feel with pops of color and detailed line art, Spry Fox elaborates on the Polygon article by; (Carpenter, N, 2021); ‘One of their main goals was to create the game style to look like a beautiful sketchbook, as it gets colored by watercolour washes as the world and characters and evolves’, Noemi Gomez explained to Polygon.

There are two different types of quests throughout the game, the first is your daily quests and the other is the story quests. The story quests advance resident spirit bears stories which unlock more about themselves, the more you unlock the more you fill their heart meter, unlocking their stories is linked with restoring their memories as well. Daily quests do not add to the game's story development although you get given rewards by competing objectives.

Characters
Flamey is one of the most important characters in the game as their role is consuming spirit and once Flamey has consumed a certain amount of spirit logs the player reaches a new fire level making Flamey brighter and unveiling a new area of the island and a new bear spirit to go along with it. The cute ghost-like bears are permanent residents of the island. Each bear has a unique specialty such as crafting, cooking, selling, sailing, and more. Each bear has lost their memories, as a Spirit Scout, you must help them find peace. There are various ghost bears to be discovered on Cozy Grove, there are resident bears, base game bears, new neighbors, merchant bears, and seasonal bears. Memories are an important piece in this game as they unlock the story and history of the island and fellow residents. When a memory has been unlocked it's kept in Charlotte Pine’s black book of ghost memories. The black book of ghost memories holds information about every spirit bear that the player meets when they first met them and their location.

Imps are cute, fidgety spirits that are scattered all around the island. They appear everywhere in groups or alone and they disappear when the play runs near them unless they have a thought bubble appearing over their head which indicates their mood or if they are hungry. A thick exclamation mark over their head usually means they have something you need as imps steal objects from bears and there are objectives to find these items and bring them back to their rightful owners. There are four types of imps; blob imps, pug imps, skull imps, and turnimp. Sometimes an imp will drop an imp essence, imp essences are also given out by bear residents, there are three types; spirit imp essence, happy imp essence, and joyous imp essence. These are used as a material for cooking or crafting.

Pets can be bought at Mr.Kit’s store, Beastly Charms and Curious and they can also be gifted to you from bear residents. Players can get spirit birds, rodents, and cats, either being outdoor pets meaning they sit outside of the player's campsite, or inside pets, staying inside the tent. Each spirit animal produces something different for instance; spirit birds produce eggs and spirit bird essence, deer's produce onions and spirit deer essence, and rodents produce cocoa beans and spirit rodent essence. Each pet has an overhead icon of three hearts indicating its mood, the hearts can be filled by placing the pet near items it likes. Cats are placed inside the tent hence being inside pets. Cats can be obtained by luring them to your island by placing three foods into the cat beckoner which is inside the tent. The rarity of the cat depends on the food that is used to lure it to your island. Cats have a heart meter of nine hearts, you can fill them up by feeding them and looking after them. There are three pet age stages, young, adult, and mature, after the pet is fed five times it evolves into the next age stage which is adult, then after the pet is fed ten more times it evolves into the adult stage.

Tools, Crafting and Stores
As a spirit scout roaming around the island you need tools to dig up the land, fish, hit rocks, and more. The player uses a backpack that holds all the tools, these tools include; a shovel, machete, pickaxe, fishing rod, net, camera, and dowsing rod. You use these to get materials that are scattered around the island that cannot be picked up by hand. Most tools need to be crafted by bears once the player obtains the materials needed to create them.

You can craft different items with the materials you gather, you can do this by talking to Jeremy Gruffle’s and you must have the right materials in your backpack or storage, select the item and Jeremy Gruffle will craft it for you. You can also cook by obtaining different recipes hidden around the island, once you obtain a recipe you will need to gather the necessary ingredients for that specific recipe. If you have a cooking recipe Allison Fisher is the spirit bear to go to. Cooking creates delicious dishes such as salads, pies, desserts, jars of pickled vegetables, fruit, etc, with these dishes you can sell, donate or even feed your pets. One Allison Fisher creates your dish and it will be delivered through the mail on the island. A player can get items for cooking recipes by rummaging through the island, obtaining items from other characters, from pets, and burning items through Flamey.

Stores are where the player buys or sells different items and the shops are managed by characters, the stores can be accessed when talking to characters. There are around eight to thirteen stores to explore over time, although the first store the player can access is Mr. Kit’s store, you are able to buy different goods such as flowers, food, wood, sticks, imp essences, etc. Mr. Kit also sells clothes and a body shop where player can change their hair color, eye color, and hairstyle.

Relics
Relics are found underground when holding your dowsing rod and can be used as a material, they can be sold for a reward or they can be burnt to create relic ash. Relic ash can help repair tools, craft specific decorations, or be sold to Mr. Kit. When the dowsing rod is in the player's hands there is a little icon hovering indicating ‘hot or cold, hot meaning you are getting closer to the relic, and cold means you are walking further away from the relic. Once the player gets closer to the relic an X will appear where the relic is, X marks the spot. Using the dowsing rod each day can result in the player finding rarer relics and items, you can upgrade the dowsing rod to wooden, metal, and then gold. A wooden dowsing rod can be used once a day only, a silver dowsing rod you can use twice, and a gold dowsing rod can be used three times a day. Another way you can obtain a rare item or relic is once a day a stone skull pattern appears at a random location on the island, once the player completes the pattern they may obtain a rare item or relic. There are several types of relics that a player can obtain such as; the most basic relics, hewn brick, imperial coin relics, rusty relics, etc, and the rarest relics such as the forbidden scroll, shard of the crown, emperors confession, and there are several other relics in-between. Relics can be sold at Mr. Kit's shop and in return for coins, basic common relics can be sold for around one hundred and fifty old coins to six hundred old coins. Rarer relics are sold at a higher price starting from one thousand five hundred old coins to six thousand old coins.

Badges
As the player progresses through the game they earn badges which represents their achievements the player accomplishes. There are numerous badge categories such as; achievement badges, animal care badges, decorating and crafting badges, gathering and exploration badges, and more. When a player earns a badge they get an achievement which could result in getting an amount of coins and gems. Overall you collect badges by completing activities, using items, completing memory collections, by feeding Flamey, upgrading Flamey and tent and more.

Conclusion
Overall, these are the must know basics if you are interested in playing Cozy Grove. Cozy Jason D’Aprile explains on Cozy Grove reviews - Game Skinny (D’Aprile, 2021) ‘Cozy Grove is distinctive for its beautiful hand-drawn visual style and lovely, calming soundtrack. The game is absurdly charming, with its adorable cast and landscape designs, but the story itself offers a deep layer of complex and frequently darker themes. These bears are lingering here because their lives were unfulfilled in some major way, and revealing their backstories is incredibly satisfying. In general, most players enjoy the relaxing, fun gameplay, completing quests, conversing with ghost bears, cooking, crafting, and more.
