Dredge, Strange Horticulture leading the dark cozy genre

The subgenre of cozy games is delving into new territory: the dark cozy game. Dredge, which delves into psychological horror, is still considered a cozy game because its dark undercurrent makes the relaxing parts stand out even more.

Hi there! I'm Laura Anne. I write mostly #fantasy (historical & modern) but also mystery, a smidge of romance, and some horror. Often all at once. Proud to be tagged #DarkCozy.

I talk a lot about #politics and my #dog, less about my #cat (he's publicity-shy), and occasionally do #foodporn posts. EastCoaster transplanted to the #PNW.

Are those enough hashtags?

Oh wait one more: #Introduction
