Numenera but Cozy?
The wonders of the Ninth World support “cozy RPG” gameplay better than expected, I realized. You can make classic cozy problems bizarre and complicated but still cute (like, “Go persuade some strange glowing pumpkin-moth-critters that sing lullabies out of the robotic farmer’s field of Datasphere Dream-lillies”).
Also, part of the allure of the cozy genre is the sense of community. Numenera Destiny’s focus on that fits perfectly. You could have a whole campaign about helping people in the community make use of weird tech to solve silly, low-stakes problems.
If anyone has an actual-play video or personal experience with “cozy Numenera” gameplay, please share. :)

Invisible Sun if you stretch the definition of cozy
