Hi there, I’m Betsy

I built this space for anyone who’s ever felt like gaming moved on without them. After years of burnout and overwhelm, I came back to games looking for peace, play, and something that felt like mine.

What I found surprised me: cozy games didn’t just help me relax, they helped me reconnect with my creativity, my curiosity, and parts of myself I’d forgotten.

Now I help other grownups find their way back, too.

  • Big fan of rainy-day gaming with zero guilt
  • I find peace in pixellated to-do lists
  • Yes, I will absolutely romance the mysterious forest witch
  • Expert in gaming while contorted around a sleeping cat

I’m so happy you’re here.
—Betsy
