Call of the Sea, a cozy Lovecraft game? (feddit.org)

This is a story focused puzzle game where you are on a tropical island in 1934, investigating the disappearance of your husband and his expedition on this exact island.

The puzzles are not Baba is You level, but also not too easy so that you just run through.

The main focus is the story and reaching new areasby solving the puzzles. There is a linear progression from level to level, but each section is a nice looking area you can walk around in.

There is no action though, which gave my experience with it a nice, cozy atmosphere that I didn't expect from a Lovecraft inspired work. With the direction the story was going it makes sense in the end, but still, unexpected to me.

I had a fun time with it and want to see more Cosmic Cozy now! Anybody has some recommendation in that regard?

When I read the blurb for the game, I didn't think they meant actual Lovecraft, so I was kinda surprised when Dagon and the Marshes of Innsmouth got explicitly referenced. There were a couple parts where I was expecting to get attacked by abominations, so I was quite relieved when nothing of the sort happened. All in all, I have to say that I quite enjoyed it. And it's not a long game at all, really, so you can probably power through it in a day.
