Dark Souls got cozy when it went to Majula
Briefly

Majula, the hub in Dark Souls 2, stands out as a soothing retreat within FromSoftware's often brutal game worlds. Operating under a consistent sunrise, it promotes a sense of peace absent in other settings. Visitors can interact with unique characters like the friendly cat Sweet Shalquoir and experience a calm ambiance that contrasts starkly with the usual themes of despair. Valued by fans, Majula has inspired mods and extensive online content, creating a refuge for players away from the action.
"Majula is a seaside settlement set during a permanent sunrise...partly sunny. That helps it stand apart from other FromSoft hub worlds."
"Barring a few skeletons and a corpse in a well, Majula is a peaceful place. It's in a state of disrepair, but unusually cozy for a Dark Souls environment."
"Majula is beloved by Dark Souls fans. It has even been modded into Elden Ring as a replacement for that game's hub...lavishly remade in Unreal Engine 5."
"You can spend up to 10 hours relaxing in Majula, imagining sitting by its bonfire and soaking in the scenery."
