Cozy Tent

Cozy Tent is a quiet place, not a game that asks anything of you. You stay inside a tent in the forest while the rain falls outside, and you do whatever you feel like doing. Light the candle. Put the kettle on and make coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Turn on the radio and find a station you like. Read a book. Play chess against the board in the corner.

Water the plant and wait for it to bloom. Outside, the night goes on by itself. Deer and foxes pass by. Fireflies come out. Shooting stars cross the sky, and once in a while something rarer shows up: an aurora, a comet, a rainbow after a storm. Point the telescope at a constellation, take a photo of it and keep it in your album.A ferret lives here with you.

Give it a name, feed it, pet it when it comes over. It goes out on its own and brings back little things it finds, and every so often it steals something from the tent. The sky follows the real clock and the real moon, so the tent is never the same twice. Come back tomorrow and something will have changed. No timers. No scores.…
