I find them too dark and moist-looking, personally. I think I'd go with Lut Gholein. I like the openness and sun. And you wouldn't be dealing with humidity all the time.

The Pandemonium Fortress is pretty nice too. But it's too small and sterile. The Arcane Sanctuary might be good though! I mean if it didn't have any monsters in it.

It also has the confessional which has one of the creepiest 2D scares in my opinion, with even odder music unique to that room.

Thread about comfy retro places and nobody posts Carona village, what a shame.

The Four Portals hub level of Chakan: The Forever Man is comfy in its own haunting, bleak kind of way.

The Dark Space in Illusion of Gaia has a similar vibe to the Four Portals, although it's less bleak and more comforting. Like a cool blanket.

Creepy room but very unique in the game. They really wanted to draw attention to it.
>>6979189
And the music here was very light and ethereal. This game is underrated.
