Hello there, fellow humans.
I'm looking for some not demanding games that I can enjoy with a cup of tea. Something, that will make me warm inside and go "aww, that's nice". I'm mostly into adventure, narrative/character driven, some platform games, also RPG maker or visual novels. But I'm really open to anything.
I've played most of the most popular ones so maybe someone here could recommend me something new. And yes, I'm a sucker for these types of games.

Also, I'm so sorry for no gib, it'll be here soon I promise uwu

Define what is wholesome to you. Also give examples of games and genres you're into and enjoy. Since you've blocked info of the games you've played and the time in your Steam profile it'll be a shot in the hay. Well, generally my chill games are Hidden object games, especially from Artifex Mundi

There's a standard formula for HoG games also there's a standard of Artifex Mundi games that they follow. Once you played one, you're pretty comfortable going around looking for things. Also you can also enjoy a story or 2 from them, although plotlines are generally similar but they are well written imho.

I also strongly recommend Glass Masquerade series and Hidden Folks.

Some people enjoy Farming Sims like Stardew, etc, Sim City, Cities Skylines for City management games but it can also stress out someone at a particular point for micro managing the the City.
Cheers~

Oops, you're right, I didn't even have any idea my playtime was locked. And thanks, I edited it a bit to convey what kind of games I'm looking for.
Thanks for suggestions, I'm honestly not that much into HoG games but I own Hidden Folks and played a tiny bit, really cute and enjoyable, I should probably give it another fair run.
Thank you for your time to comment!

Some people dont enjoy others talking about or looking into their playtime. No worries on that.
I've not played Hidden Folks myself but it looks great. You enjoyed it too, so yeah give it a fair run. ^^
I see from your profile, that you've played quite alot of PoE. New league is coming in Mar 13. I've not played it myself but I am very excited for 2.0. It looks great. ^^
I did enjoy Grim Dawn during their Free Weekend. Torchlight games are fun. Played Torchlight 1 from Humble Trove. Wolcen looks fun, it reminds me alot of Torchlight but I've seen people comparing it more to Diablo and PoE.
Thank you for your reply too, Have a great weekend ahead. ^^

Sorry, forgot to mention, I enjoyed the Hero of the Kingdom series, its technically HoG but with RPG elements and battles. I certainly had fun with them. :)

Talking of HoG I just remembered the game "Hidden Paws" . It's cheap, short and has some very lovely scenes. A must-have, especially if you're a cat person. =^.^=

Almost any turn based strategy game will fit your needs, also resource management gamed are a good option,bpuzzle games are usually overseen by most players and are good to take your time just taking a tea while solving the puzzle, if you dont even want to think you can play visual novels and relax reading and enjoying the story.
I'll come later with some recomendations.

I agree, been looking at Atelier series, looks decent. I do not think they have amazing plot lines like in other JRPGs but its enjoyable. The prices tho are a big burn to the wallet like most JRPGs. Certainly on the follow list. :)

Yonder had been under development I think. I saw a couple of streams of it when its released did not have a deep impression. Been following the game since tho.

Thank you VERY much for recommending A Short Like, cause it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for but also for reminding me of Owlboy, it's been on my wishlist for quite a while and I completely forgot about it until now.
And of course, thanks for taking your time and recommending me so many lovely titles!

Stray Cat Crossing.... at the end of the day it's up to OP but I'm not 100% sure I would say it is a "wholesome" game, despite I really-reallly loved it. It's especially weird to see here after I talked myself out of recommending it, so maybe it is better/nicer what it looks like at the first glance?

Such a brilliant game. I overlooked it because it didn't look like my thing at all, then decided to enter a GA for it and won. One of my favorite wins last year! So relaxing, genuine and fun.

I wanna say Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale (mostly for the "Aww, that's cute!" factor and the humor) but the dungeon bits and getting the story payments on time could get challenging.

Epic Battle Fantasy 4 actually has a pretty complicated battle system, but if you play it on a low difficulty it pretty much becomes a cakewalk with a lot of silly characters and jokes. ^_^
(^The game is also playable in its entirety for free on Kongregate. The payed Steam version has some non-canon bonus content.)

Reus - A god game where you shape the resources on a planet to help the little people who settle on it. It's pretty straightforward and (ignoring some of the challenges) relatively easy and relaxing. :)

VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action - Don't let the word "action" in the title fool you- the only actions you really perform in this game are mixing drinks and talking to people. It's a very nice story (occasionally gets kinda dark but it usually works out in the end) with super relatable characters and lots of humor.

Thomas Was Alone is a very simple sorta-narrative-driven puzzle platformer.

Oh, and I'll throw another vote in the A Hat in Time box along with anyone else who recommends it. :D

Thank you for the titles! I played Vallhalla and absolutely loved it, it's a great game. I'll definitely check out A Hat in Time after so many positive responses, looks like a game I would enjoy. Reus looks like something chill so I'll give that one a go as well.
Thanks for your time!

A few cute/sweet things with relaxed gameplay:

Pikuniku - it's sort of a platformer (in that you move around a 2D sidescrolling world and jump) but it's easy and leans more towards a cutesy adventure play style.

The Big Journey - like Loco Roco with cats!

Super Lucky's Tale - this one is straight up a regular 3D platformer but Lucky is ridiculously cute.

Trying to remember more, but I shuffle things around a lot.

Rabisco is a small game that put a big smile on my face. The doodle aesthetics, the Kirby's Epic Yarn-esque soundtrack, and the simple plot of "hey, let's put the stars back in the sky!" all made for a really cozy couple of hours.

Another game that came to mind is GNOG, which is a very playful set of puzzle toys with a soft, lovely art style. Wish there were more games like it!

From your library maybe Thomas Was Alone could work.

Poi was the first game that came to mind, but A Hat in Time and Super Lucky's Tale are better suggestions. Also Katamari is great (and available on Steam)

I have no chills for platformers they normally induce rage for me when I fall off the platform. Hahaha Although I did get the humble deal for A Hat in Time, was a good deal, a good game just a bad gamer for it. hehehe XD

Red's Kingdom. I won this here actually. It's an adorable puzzle game where every room is a puzzle. Can be played in short bursts if you like, so suits with coffee time. A cute little story with perhaps some nut innuendo, since the character is a squirrel searching for his lost nuts. lol.

Dust: An Elysian Tail. This is one of my absolute favourite games. It's a metroidvania, the story is pretty good and the visuals are awesome. I love it personally because it's an indie game that managed to get everything right. Has that aww factor too.

Cat Quest. Zelda-like RPG game with plenty of cat puns.

While this is certainly not my arena, I might have a few:

Broken Reality - Bright, colorful, and beautiful; I could spend years in its world. Not sure if it counts as wholesome; it's a satire of social media, but nothing really violent or anything; sad, maybe.

Cosmic Osmo - An old game that I still have on my Mac from 1990, and it's on Steam. There isn't much point beyond exploration, but there are some lovely things to discover. On Steam, it comes with Spelunx and The Manhole, which aren't as good, but are in a similar vein.

Gomo - A charming Point-and-Click Adventure starring what I think is a potato sack. Visually and thematically, it reminds me of that Wallace and Gromit film where they go to the moon. It's a lovely thing for a rainy morning.

Tiny Bang Story - I don't usually play Hidden Object games, but the world of this one just enchanted me; it reminded me a little of Cosmic Osmo, actually. You find objects hidden out in the open, then use them to access different puzzles and minigames.

To the Moon - It's a heartwarming story about a man's dying wish, but it has a happy ending; I'm usually pretty cold when it comes to fictional characters, but this one got me. Neil was an obnoxious character that existed only to pander to nerd culture, though.

Woodle Tree Adventures - Technically a 3D Platformer, but it's super easy, and the world is nothing short of wonderful.

Some shorter ones (a few hours or less) I love:
Tiny Echo, GNOG, Gorogoa, ABZU, The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game, Under Leaves, Botanicula

Cheeky Chooks is a cute f2p game to pop in and out of.

Perhaps you'd like The Wolf's Bite? I found it got repetitive fairly quickly and some disappointing endings but the art is really cute and enjoyable for a couple playthroughs. Each lasting about 15 mins.

Forgotton Anne while having some sad themes (nothing crazy), the characters and world gave me a super warm, fuzzy, wondrous feeling.

Also completely agree with those above and think you'll love A Short Hike, was the first thing that popped into my head. :)

If you haven't played A Bird Story, just get it. Right now (for the next 17 hours), it's on sale for a measly $1 at Indiegala: A Bird Story

I'm not much into the 16-bit JRPG genre, but this one really got me. It's because it's not really a RPG, but more of just really good storytelling in what would normally be a RPG engine. It works because language is not an issue...everything is communicated, amazingly clearly, without ever using words. Completely heart-breaking and heart-warming. If you're looking for a wholesome game that provides fun but no frustration, it should go to the top of your list.
