>They remind me of places where I have to behave, which makes me stressed out.

Thanks for putting the word for it. That's what I feel about many of those 'cozy' games. It's like when you meditate and you force yourself to be calm, which give the opposite results.

I love some of those cozy game of course(the latest is called "Wilmot's Works It Out") but it's nothing compare to the calm when I play older 90-early 2000s videogames again, or the time you walk aimlessly in Skyrim. Maybe it has things to do with the zero expectation(playing old, outdated games that no one play anymore gives you peace of mind that you don't have to be FOMO of being 'cozy' or anything..which make you ended up naturally...cozy)
