Low Stakes Cozy Co-op Game Suggestions? (sh.itjust.works)

I’m looking to set up a co-op video game night with my friends and I’m looking for suggestions for a cozy game we can all play together virtually. We all enjoy Stardew Valley but we’ve all played it and I’d like to start something new with them. Looking for ideas that would allow me to walk away from the computer if I need to take care of my kids but still allows my friends to continue playing.

Here’s some parameters to narrow down the list:

switch, Steam, or GOG availability
can walk away and not die without having to pause for my friends
preferably affordable
lower graphics requirements, we all have older hardware
game controller compatible
fun to play over multiple short sessions
either 2 player or up to 4 players

Thanks everyone in advance!

Edit: I’m so excited with all the suggestions! I realized I should put co-op in the title and add the number of players. Might be anywhere between 2 and 4. Even the single player suggestions I’ve been getting are so up my alley I’m excited to check them out. This was my first post on this platform and it’s been amazing thank you!

Yeah, it’s an extensive wishlist so I don’t anticipate hitting all the points, just hoping for most or even some. Phogs looks like a lot of silly fun, thanks for the suggestion!

I get that. I just thought of it, others suggested Peak but RV There Yet is just as fun and actually easier to step away from as one guy can just drive or repair or explore or whatever. It doesn't halt progress quite as much as in Peak I feel.

I also think Trine might work if it hasn't been suggested. It's a fun little action adventure game but it's not hard or stressful, been playing through them with my own friends
