The world of
Cozy Grove looks like the inside of a sketchbook. Its detailed illustrations, rich with color and varied linework, slowly fade from full color to muted, almost unfinished scenes. These are there for a purpose; the player is to bring color and life back to the island. But it’s also a technique designed to convey a sense of warmth and humanity that this is a world touched by life.
Developer Spry Fox describes the game as “hand-drawn,” and that feel has always been a priority for the team. It’s a descriptor that plenty of games have taken on over the years; notable hand-drawn games include the likes of

Each day I log into
Cozy Grove, the color has been drained from the otherwise abundant island. The lush greenery tall pine trees, flowering fruit bushes, and twisted vines is covered in grey. This happens each time I log off; the world I worked to colorize slowly fades back to these muted tones.
Cozy Grove, developed by Spry Fox, is a lot like
Animal Crossing: New Horizons the video game we all sunk much of our lives into throughout 2020. Nintendo’s island-life simulator was inescapable, with life on a deserted island designed to be whatever you want it to be. As long as you collect enough resources to build it out, of course.
Review: Cozy Grove Is an Animal Crossing-lite
Cozy Grove, he emphasized how
Animal Crossing helped shape it and the team wanted to use it to build up certain areas they felt Nintendo’s life sim might not have covered. While it accomplishes that, there are many ways in which the design decisions can make it feel more limiting and a “lite” version of a life sim.
Ghosts exist. They have unfinished business and need help. Fortunately for you, you’re a Spirit Scout. You’re trained to aid them and sent on assignments to get them to move on. Your latest assignment is the island of Cozy Grove. It’s dead there. Literally. The place is devoid of color, life, and warmth, with only specters lurking about. After an incident leaves you trapped, they become your new neighbors and you commit to restoring the island and meeting their needs.
