I’m looking to set up a co-op video game night with my friends and I’m looking for suggestions for a cozy game we can all play together virtually. We all enjoy Stardew Valley but we’ve all played it and I’d like to start something new with them. Looking for ideas that would allow me to walk away from the computer if I need to take care of my kids but still allows my friends to continue playing.

Here’s some parameters to narrow down the list:

switch, Steam, or GOG availability
can walk away and not die without having to pause for my friends
preferably affordable
lower graphics requirements, we all have older hardware
game controller compatible
fun to play over multiple short sessions
either 2 player or up to 4 players

Thanks everyone in advance!

Edit: I’m so excited with all the suggestions! I realized I should put co-op in the title and add the number of players. Might be anywhere between 2 and 4. Even the single player suggestions I’ve been getting are so up my alley I’m excited to check them out. This was my first post on this platform and it’s been amazing thank you!

Ale and Tale Tavern is great co-op fun, and terribly cozy. It's primarily fantasy themed overcooked, but with much chiller vibes.

There's optional adventurer stuff, but it is pretty light, there's good accessibility settings, and the adventuring can be delayed until stronger gear is available or done cooperatively, making it much easier.

Over time, you can upgrade your gear and decorate the tavern.

If anything, the game's flaw is just that it's relatively short, for an economy simulation game.

(6 to 8 hours with my group unlocked everything. We played past the end for maybe another two hours just for the chill vibes.)
