"Cozy atmosphere" What's the first game that comes to mind?

Without thinking too much the first one that crosses my mind has to be Sandover Village, the home location in Jak and Daxter 1 where the characters and all their friends live. The tropical climate in the midst of a warm and sunny beach really captures the simple wonder of that game throughout.
I wasn't sure at first but thankfully I noticed the shrine of Talos and there's only one of those in the sea of ghosts so it should be around here
And for your consideration, this is just outside Windhelm
This is my favorite thread on Era. Please flood it with replies. I need it.
I'll add mine: Lumines has always felt especially cozy to me.

Animal Crossing definitely and maybe weirdly Deadly Premonition. I love the parts where you're not in combat, in the hotel, going around the town.
Can't believe it took until the 10th post for the correct answer to pop.
The party camp in dragon age inquisition. The sound fo the crackling fire, the occasional dog bark. The magestic squeak of the domesticated nug, and that awesome version of in uthenera playing. I sometimes think of that when I'm trying to sleep.
The Hawke mansion theme is also nice, but a bit too melancholy to be truly cozy.

All of Fortsigtuna from Heroine's Quest gives me this feeling but most particularly:
The fact that the 'frostbite' mechanic of the game requires you to seek warmth or die, this room really becomes the center of your world intially.
And with this wonderful tune playing I get all warm just thinking about it:

Morrowind's interiors give me those vibes:
There's something innately calming about all that colored lighting.

So much of BK is cozy as fuck.
Yeah, and pretty much every livingroom in the game has a fireplace lit, haha. Really adds to the cozy feel.
I also thought that Lurelin Village was very cozy and warm in Breath of the Wild.
Never got a chance to play this one, but My Summer Vacation looked incredible in this regard.
Seriously what happened to this series??
Coming back from whatever hellish depths you've just barely survived, to rekindle with familiar faces, all while this track plays in Dark Souls.
Definitely animal crossing. Being invited into a neighbors home to chat or admire their decor, going to Brewsters for a cup of coffee, waking up one day during winter to see Christmas lights have been added to trees around town, doing some fishing or big catching in the relaxing summer breeze.
you can't tell me that isn't the coziest thing you've ever heard

Animal Crossing. It's a rainy, autumn afternoon. You stroll lazily across town, meeting other friends in the rain. Then you step into Brewster's cafe, to warm up with some coffee.
Undertale was the second game I thought of; Snowdin, specifically.

Oddly, pretty much any Assassin's Creed. In between all the action, you often get those calm moments of tourism: aimlessly wandering the open world, visiting iconic landmarks, and watching the NPCs go through their daily routines with some nice sound design and ambient tunes playing in the background. Roaming the deserts of Egypt on camel/horseback in Origins was something else:
