Cozy Controller is an all-in-one life-sim character controller system built for cozy games: farming, fishing, collecting, building, and relaxing exploration. Drop it into a new or existing project and you’ll have a solid foundation for a complete life-sim loop—movement, camera, inventory, tools, interactables, UI, and saving—ready to extend.
