Can Cozy Games Be Dark? - JK! Games! Podcast
Tuesday, 9 September, 2025
This week on JK! Games! Jerica is joined by guest host Josh aka HighScoreWeekly for a deep dive into Whisper of the House — a cozy-but-creepy pixel art game that raised questions about where the line is drawn in the cozy genre.We review the game’s atmosphere, story, and standout mechanics, then dive into a bigger conversation about "dark cozy" games: Can a game be cozy if it explores heavy topics like grief or death? Should content warnings be required? And does the genre need its own category like “cozy horror”?Timecodes:00:00:00 – Start00:12:22 – Listener Question of the Week00:18:46 – Easy Mode: Jerica & Silksong00:30:50 – A Chao Garden Inspired Game?00:34:00 – Normal Mode: Whisper of the House Review00:57:20 – Expert Mode: Can Cozy Be Dark?JK!
