The Cozy-Game Comfort Player vs The Open-World Explorer
Two taste personalities. See how their Taste DNA differs — and which one is you.
"You feel safest when the world wants you to tend it."
caretaking_as_core_loop: world responds to being tended — growth and relief are the reward
routine_loop_satisfaction: daily-cycle routines with clear task completion over open-ended urgency
hostile_world_aversion: strongly rejects settings where the environment's primary relationship to you is threat
emotional_processing_as_content: grief, therapy, and life-review are the subject matter, not the backdrop
resource_management_ceiling: tolerates light resource tracking for warmth payoff; punishing scarcity breaks immersion
"You live inside worlds that were already dying before you arrived."
dying_world_as_subject: the world's collapse is the actual story, not the backdrop
anti_spectacle_combat_theater: combat framed as performance or spectacle actively repels
boss_as_narrative_event: boss encounters are the emotional climax, not a skill checkpoint
frontier_elegy: open spaces that feel like they are ending, not beginning
open_world_self_directed_pacing: freedom to wander without quest-marker obligation
