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.
My daughter loves A Short Hike and Wobbly Life.
And on her phone Toca Boca World. Though it has a tendency to crash every few months, taking her progress with it.
She also likes Spider-Man but I guess that’s not very “girly”.
Smushi come home is similar vibes to a short hike and I loved it.
A Short Hike is ace!
And it’s not that short; the island to me seems to be an actual mile wide in circumference. There’s lots to do in the one environment.
I feel like Lost Records: Bloom & Rage that came out recently might be a candidate? I haven’t played it myself because I don’t think I’m the target audience but it seems like sort of what you’re looking for?
No Place Like Home?
A recent one is Wanderstop, loved the vibes on that one. If you want to read more I wrote up some demo impressions here: lemmy.world/post/26452334
Hello Kitty Adventure Island is the game my friends and I use when we want something that isn’t a shooter
My wife loves Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, and she’s been way into Hello Kitty: Island Adventure lately. It seems to split the difference between those things and add some of its own spice on top.
I had childhood PTSD flashbacks reading “adventure Island” without ever having played any animal crossing games.
Highly recommend Haven. Has some combat but it’s very minimal and it’s mostly slice of life focused on the romance of a pair of runaways.
100%. Played this with my wife and we bought the vinyl afterwards. Such a chill exploration game, especially with a partner.
Melatonin is a sleepy rhythm game. Exact color scheme you’re looking for, fun sleepy night time aesthetics. Not exactly in it for the plot
Well there’s lot of shovelware girly games out there. Your best bet would be cozy games cozygamereviews.com/cozy-games-on-steam/ maybe try a dating sim or two? The KFC Dating sim …steampowered.com/…/I_Love_You_Colonel_Sanders_A_… 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 store.steampowered.com/app/…/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 store.steampowered.com/…/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.]
Check out Windstorm! It’s an upcoming game that is basically what you describe, just set in Mongolia.
My niece introduced me to LKBC, and so far it seems like a lot of fun!
www.themanequest.com is all about horse games, by an equestrian game dev. You might enjoy it
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.
Totally! I think $15 is fine though

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.
Do not

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.

Happy feelings, maybe.
Cry your heart out, absolutely.
