With the rise of cosy games, which is less a genre and more of an aesthetic vibe, developers are always needing to find ways to differentiate themselves. A case in point was Wanderstop earlier this year, which tried to subvert things narratively. For Lou's Lagoon, indie developer Tiny Roar's key aim is to differentiate itself through the game's feel.
Lou's Lagoon is an adventure game where you control a player-created character on a journey to find their missing uncle, the titular Lou. But within that are elements of resource-gathering, crafting, and building that you'll find in many community-building life sim games that often have that cosy moniker.
