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.

Metal Gear Solid
That cake tho.
That reminds me of Portal.
👀
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
Reply wrong answers only here! xD
Doom is the only right answer. That soft pink mist as the light catches the spray of blood from your vanquished enemies.
Manhunt is a classic girly game
That Dead or Alive beach game
It’s all about girls!
Duke Nukem 3D…Because it has strippers and manly muscles on the front cover.
Hello Kitty Adventure Island
The steam reviews are a fun read, too. It’s unironically an Overwhelming Positive
Not really “pink”, and lacks romance, but very pleasant: Dave the Diver. Cozy-ish game with nifty characters. Only thing would be I don’t know if you meant “no/minimal combat” because you don’t want the mechanics or the vibes. Dave has not particularly challenging combat mechanics, and paw patrol levels of violence levels (although you are catching and eating fish).
If you like park builders, Zoo Tycoon is cozy as hell. Beware the DLC trap though. You can get the base game with a lot of meat pretty cheap, but the DLCs are like $10+ each and not really a good value IMO. But the game has a great vibe with some really neat mechanics that try and imitate real conservation efforts.
What would check the boxes through a “Hot Topic” lens is Promise Mascot Agency. Surprisingly wholesome, completely off the wall, combat is all card/deck builder based… I… it’s a hard one to describe.
Doughnut county checks all the boxes but is rather short. Katamari if you haven’t done it.
I hear good things about, but have not played: Naiad, Tempopo.
Fields of Mistria Roots of Pacha
Easy recommends if you liked Stardew Valley.
Weird recommends would be My time at Portia/Sandrock. They absolutely have combat, but have romance systems and a cuter aesthetic. Even the enemies are derpy/cute.
My partner’s been playing Fields of Mistria and the art direction looks like it’s Game Boy Advanced era which is kinda neat.
She’s always complaining about forgetting to put the chickens away xD
I second Fields of Mistria. It’s just better than Stardew Valley in my opinion, in almost every way.
Unpacking
I played one a few months back that might fit the bill. ‘Garden Life: a Cozy Simulator’ It’s a game where you grow/decorate a garden of flowers and sell/give them to people. Very pleasant.
I played that as well. Very cozy and relaxing.
You could try Animal Well. Dark yet pastel-oriented colorschemes. Minimal “combat” but more of a puzzle and exploration style of gameplay. More mysterious than scary. Mild peril. Not romantic in the slightest, but very original.
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?
Darktide?
The atelier games
Transformice!
My daughter has been playing Disneyland Adventures. She loves it.
This reminds me of Adventures in the Magic Kingdom on NES. Which was a brutal assault on your skills and patience back in the day.
While there are combat aspects of it, you can play the fuck out of Stardew valley without ever even seeing the cave. Definitely slice of life, with open relationship options(open as in my mf ff, makes no difference. Not screwing everyone).
Lovers in a dangerous spacetime? It’s pink I guess.
Flock is an underplayed cozy game with no combat. You are a bird and you find other birds, sometimes not birds, to join your flock and fly around. It’s completely chill and enjoys a really soft color palette (pink for sure but also purples, pale orange skies, blues, etc.)
Oh man I thought this was VORON for a bit (I had forgotten the game was called VORON). It is not, but if you are interested in Flock you might like VORON
Looks right up my alley. Thanks for the recommendation!
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.
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

My wife is in love with Disney Dreamlight Valley! It’s like animal crossing but with Disney characters and in full 3D. She dresses her character up differently every few weeks. She looked like a reindeer for December/January, and it was so cute! They’re very heavy on the fairy/cozy decor aspect, and while the expansions are paid, they do have free updates every 3-4 months.
Monument Valley
A nice Slice of Life gane I recently enjoyed is Midnight Ramen.
Another I found excellent that might touch closer to Stardew is Potion Permit
Transistor
Greate game, but I wouldn’t call it girly at all. 😂
Sure, the main protagonist is a girl, but the story is dark 😅.
I don’t know if you’d consider visual novels a game, but even if the ‘character’ you’re playing is a male, the feminine aspects come out really well in Doki Doki Literature Club.
How the fuck do you recommend DDLC when OP says non-violent?
OP, DDLC is a fun game, but there’s a reason it’s tagged psychological horror. It’s not just a meme. I won’t elaborate in case folks wanna try it out. I do suppose it is a “girly” horror though.
If you’re open to the idea of ditching a Microsoft product, I’d suggest Vintage Story as a Minecraft alternative that I think has a nicer aesthetic. It’s meant to be a sort of slow, “grindy” game, but if you sort of rewire your thinking to it being a slice of life game, akin to Stardew, I think it’s very fun. Fair warning the early game can be very punishing if you’re brand new to it, so explore the world and difficulty setting when you make your first save.
Vintage Story is such a vibe and the building puts Minecraft to shame.
Magical Diary is a fun little game about being a teenage girl that goes to wizard school. There’s 2 but I only played one: …steampowered.com/…/Magical_Diary_Horse_Hall/
My time at Portia and my time at Sand Rock are pretty chill. They’re kind of like Stardew but 3d, and I liked them more. It has some fighting but it’s very PG cartoon-ish. It has a major mechanic where you just hang out with the NPCs, or go on dates with them. The second game, sand rock, is better but they’re both good: store.steampowered.com/…/My_Time_at_Sandrock/
Sable, Supraland.
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
