  14. Thank you wholesome games for another fantastic show. Your going to make my bank account cry i need every single game 😅. Also so happy to see my bestie cozy queen eeowna of binland being part of this event. Over the moon for her as I know how much this means to her being a cozy streamer. I was watching with her and the rest of us binlandians and we all went nuts in the chat when she appeared it was such a joyous moment to share together. I screamed omg there she is bestie woooooo hooooo go iona you got this. So pleased for her and hope to see her feature again 🎉

  18. Although I'm not the target demographic for cozy games, I can tell from this video that cozy players will be eating very well this year.
    I'm curious though about the prices of these games, as I can't imagine that a cozy player would spend more than $20 on a game, regardless of it's graphics or quality.
    Lastly I'm shocked at the amount of male developers in this genre, as I imagined that only females were interested in cozy games.
