By “girly” games I mean : games that have a soft/pink color scheme. About slice of life (preferably with romance elements), and non-violent with no/minimal combat.

I’ve already played Stardew Valley, Minecraft and Animal Crossing.

    Well there’s lot of shovelware girly games out there. Your best bet would be cozy games https://cozygamereviews.com/cozy-games-on-steam/ maybe try a dating sim or two? The KFC Dating sim https://store.steampowered.com/app/1121910/I_Love_You_Colonel_Sanders_A_Finger_Lickin_Good_Dating_Simulator/ is free and one my absolute favorites. Granted, it’s stupid, it’s cheesy, it’s anime, it’s taking itself a little bit too serious, but I like it. One of my friends recently loved house flipper 2 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1190970/House_Flipper_2/ a game where you clean houses, sell them, later even get to design your own houses. Also one of my new favorite cozy feel good games is little kitty big city https://store.steampowered.com/app/1177980/Little_Kitty_Big_City/ I just love the writing and the atmosphere of this game! Oh, and the Style-Boutique game series on the Nintendo 3 DS! If you know a tech savvy person who can Mod a 2DS or 3DS you can get the console for cheap and put the game on there from the internet. My wife and one of my coworkers loved these games!

    [I totally want to start a thread about how Red Dead Redemption (GTA but it’s the wild wild west-era with cowboys) has the best horse riding experience in any game until now and how a horse riding game with the mechanics would be amazing, but I’ll just plant this seed here and hope for some game-dev to see it.]

      My niece introduced me to LKBC, and so far it seems like a lot of fun!

      House Flipper 2 is great. I wish missions were less linear, but it’s probably the best “home designer” game out there.

      Can second Little Kitty, Big City, but would recommend getting it on sale. There’s not a whole of content or replayability for the regular price, imo.

      Check out Windstorm! It’s an upcoming game that is basically what you describe, just set in Mongolia.

    Already mentioned.

    • Slime Rancher
    • Fields of Mistria
    • A Short Hike

    Not yet mentioned (at least that I saw)

    • Potionomics

      • A game where you play Silvia, a potion crafter who has taken over her uncle’s shop on an island full of adventurers. You get to meet many kinds of people, both adventurers and not, and have a chance at romancing pretty much all of them (at once, if you select the polyamory mode). The art style is adorable (please physically release the cards, devs) and the voice acting is so well done.
    • Monster Prom

      • Strictly a slice of life / dating sim about trying to get a date for prom. The cast of characters are very cute, as is the art style. It’s also multiplayer if you’re into that.
    • Emily is Away

      • I believe this one is free. It’s a nostalgia blast for those of us who grew up with instant messaging like MSN or AIM. It’s been a while since I played, but I remember it being cute and very interesting.

      Potionomics!

      Fantastic story, voice acting and mechanics. It’s such an odd mix of deck building, crafting and VN romance. Yet it delivered on all fronts with a solid character writing that kept surprising me.

    I’ll add Spiritfarer. It’s not “pink” per se, but it’s a much more “happy feelings” game. It’s about taking lost sould and ferrying them on your ship, talking to them about their lives and feelings, and you can give them hugs of course.

      Great game, but definitely pay attention to the warnings the game gives the player, not only in the game itself but also on its Steam/download page.

      Again, amazing game. But not a game for recommendation without a warning of its extremely heavy and violent content.

    Team Fortress 2 is a fun game about hats. There is a combat element, but it’s not really the important bit.

    I really like the Style Savvy games on Nintendo. I started late with the one on 3DS but planning to get the Switch one eventually. They’re nice and comfy games and since it sounds like you may already have a Nintendo, could be an option.

    Uhhh can give a game with no combat, but it doesn’t have the rest. Well, female player character helps too, right? Heaven’s Vault is a game about Aliyah and her traveling the rivers of the universe and finding artifacts or writing written in ancient and translating it. I like it, some prime find parts very janky. Can’t die, I’ve tried in the few areas she can take damage.

    I’m currently playing Research Story, that one is pretty cute. There are romances. I don’t know about combat since I haven’t gotten that far (just a few hours of play); it doesn’t really seem like there will be combat, but there could be.

    I’d also recommend Apico, Mudborne, Littlewood, or Fields of Mistria. I’m sure I’m missing a ton. I think Steam has “Cute,” “Romance,” and “Slice of Life” tags if you wanted to browse those on the storefront.

    I’ve never played it but ‘Pony Island’ seems to have a pink color scheme and I’m guessing it’s about ponies, so maybe?

    Hello Kitty Adventure Island is the game my friends and I use when we want something that isn’t a shooter
