The nights are long and the bitter winds are howling, but none of that matters to you. You're under a blanket by the fire with a mug of hot chocolate. What are you playing?

Great question! And just to add I love that Unpacking is on that list, purely because of how funny I found it that a bunch of people didn't realise what the Game Cube was and assumed it was a sandwich toaster or something so kept trying to house it in the kitchen!
I'm very much an autumn and winter boy, the perks of being a November baby I guess, so my cosy games tend to be ones that might actually be a bit dark and stormy within the game, or something with a good soundscape to it, so Hollow Knight is one I often find some comfort in.
And Fez, the sound design and music in that game is superb and it just provides the right level of chill and cosy.
Something is really messed up with me, I'm a November baby too but I don't like autumn and winter, I need sunshine to really be in my element :D
The GameCube anecdote made me feel very old. I've never played Hollow Knight, but everything I read about it says that I should. And Fez looks positively adorable!
Fez is so good, but there used to be (still is?) a game-breaking bug that stops you completing the game. The developer also stopped working on it, so it's perma-busted 🙁
Well that sounds rather frustrating.
It's such a great game up until that point! It's probably worth still giving it a go as an experience, just acknowledging that it won't pay off as intended.

Nothing like a trial by fire to really warm you up.
I take it Frostpunk doesn't count? 😂
Winter Game? Not so much, but, if I had to choose a game to keep my mind off things, it would be Minecraft, hardcore mode, essentially crapping yourself non stop about dying and seeing a creeper miles away and running like its right beside you.
Aye, that'll do the trick 😂
