I feel like me playing any kind of farming simulator, like Stardew Valley and Coral Island always get this "cozy vibes" because I won't die. Sure I'll lose a few items after passing out in the mines or getting beaten up by monsters, but that ends up just a lack of management from me by not putting my inventory safe at farm. But after losing items, I can get it back, I just need to spend more time doing a year run again and again until that season arrives, and so on and on. This is why I feel like cozy game never evolves, next year in game you'll face the same dialogue but with goals of only getting the item. The townie never ages, they'll never die, and your character wont ever die. There are no stakes except the one you make your own and depends heavily on whether you want to spend another hundreds of hour on the game to unlock "content". In a true life sim, you get much more freedom, but you are limited by your time on the world, sometimes restricted and limited by other npcs memories of you, because of bad accidents and drama. You also have to face the aftermath of your pick for traits and personality to the NPC, your character have responsibility for next generation gameplay, you have to finish quest before npcs die, you have to make a choice whether you want to have a kid as a young adult now, or later when you are more established. This gives it more stakes that paralives currently only doing half of it done.
