Cozy games are the ones you play to wind down: no timers chasing you, no enemies to beat, just a pretty place to wander. These 16 run free in your browser with nothing to download. Most are walks, rides and boat trips through hand-painted worlds; a few add a gentle goal. They are all new games their makers built with AI.
