Intro
This list will not contain any games with any mature content. Some of the games may be specifically tagged with Family Friendly.

Some games are just too beautiful to ignore, like Tengami (added 30 August 2020).

There will be a limited number of tags: Adventure, Exploration, Family Friendly, First-Person, Hidden Object, Open World, Platformer, Point & Click, Puzzle, Quests, Third-Person.

As I have not played all games in this list, tags may not (always) be accurate. Tags are based on the developer's description of the game and user's reviews (pros & cons). Feel free to correct me when I'm wrong.

If you want to add a game to this guide, provide a link to the game in Steam's Store in your comment.

Latest update: February 20, 2023

NEW: Berry Madness, Logicality, The Unluckiest Man, Wilderless

Games containing some degree of mature content can be found in https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2216543550

    I'm new to Eastshade. It immediately reminded me of another game I loved, also by a small indie studio: Pendula Swing: The Complete Journey.
    It also has pretty unique worldbuilding and you also spend most of your time helping the people you meet. No violence as part of gameplay, although you play as a retired hero who had battles in her past. (Depending on how your dialogue choices, you can question the "hero" part over time because some people you meet have a different opinion on that). Characters have different races like in Eastshade, but in Pendula Swing it significantly changes their experiences in the world and thus informs their dialogue.
    No cute painting mechanism like Easthade has, but the soundtrack is pretty dope.

    I was curious to see which tags were among the most common here, and here's what I found:

    Adventure (×128 — common general tag tho ), Exploration* (×103), First-Person* (×80), Puzzle (×67), Open World* (×44), Family Friendly (×43), Third-Person (×38), Point & Click (×21), Platformer (×20), Hidden Object (×6), Walking Simulator* (×3).

    Miscellaneous (11): Action, Investigation, Life Sim, Management, Multiplayer, Nonlinear, Procedural Generation, Puzzle-platformer, Side Scroller, Simulation, Top-Down

    (One of those — Multiplayer — is no longer accurate since Islands of Insight became a singleplayer game as of late October last year.)

    *Is a prominent tag for Eastshade

    My conclusion: a lot of puzzle and cozy-type games could well be added to this list!

    This is a new game that 2 people developed , I read in the reviews that it took 8 years to create. Check it out :) Not sure if my link will work, the name is in it though. The End of the Sun.

    The Talos Principle II and Road to Elysium DLC could be added here (unlike the first game, this sequel doesn't have any mines or turrets so the gameplay is entirely peaceful)

    Embracelet has quite a similar vibe to Eastshade.

    There is also the Novelist, which is a chill game but not exploration heavy, I think it remotely kinda resembles Eastshade though

    Umurangi Generation is all about taking photographs. Could be a good one to add to this list.

    Done!
    The Sojourner 19 Feb, 2024 @ 12:55am 
    Now Islands of Insight can be added to this list.
