Discussions and recommendations of the chillest games Steam has to offer

Whether you're a fierce pacifist, just easily stressed, or a hardcore gamer enjoying a break now and then - this is an oasis of calm and combat-free games that are story-driven and/or have adventure elements. If there are any deadly threats, jump scares, time pressure etc. it should be mentioned.

For a growing overview of such games with short descriptions, tags, and lists of sub-categories to help you find what you like, check out the curator Peaceful Adventures and Stories.

For a broader spectrum of non-violent games that includes action and challenge, with a focus on "family-friendly" games, check out Non-violent Entertainment, the curator of House Blythe who has also contributed some reviews to Peaceful Adventures and Stories (our reviews are signed "Blythe" or "löyly", respectively).

If you'd like to be a part of our little community, discuss games, give feedback, post your own recommendations, ask questions etc., you're welcome to join this group. I also publish occasional announcements with info on relevant games on sale, upcoming releases to look forward to, new curator lists to browse through, and whatever else might be of interest.


Please note that I'm a Social Justice Druid with a fairly good grip on what "Freedom of Speech" does and does not mean. I am going to clean up verbal diarrhea and prevent its spread wherever I have admin powers. It sucks that I have to mention it, but this very much includes transphobia and downplaying of systemic racism.
