Ideally, it would not be a roblox game. I personally would rather not make a roblox account at all. And I want to be able to save progress. I don’t usually end up with unlimited time to play games with him and such. But the game is mostly simple. It co-op, and he likes it.
I support you. Roblox is awful and I dont let my kid play it even though that apparently makes me a monster according to people on the internet who know how to raise my child better than I do.
It’s a tough thing. I let him play on it because that is where the very few friends he has are. I did hold out as long as I could. He is autistic, so any interaction with neurotypical kids is good for him. But he can also be a pretty stringent rule follower, so I setup rules for interacting with anyone not a friend he knows personally. And he follows them. In general he doesn’t like playing with rando’s at all. So it works out to be “okay”. Not great. But “okay”. I just don’t want to make me an account, cause then he will want me to play all the lame money grabbing games with him and such.
All in all. If you kid manages to have social interactions with other kids without roblox. Then there is no need for it. Nearly all of the games on there are just money grab pay-to-play games.

After the recent news about the CEO supporting paedophiles, I would have done the same. Don’t feel bad.
Not as roguelike, but maybe Don’t Starve Together?
After looking at the game’s page, I’d say you could try Raft. It’s a generally chill survival/crafting game with multiplayer co-op. There is wildlife that can present a threat, but it’s definitely not as horror-y as 99 days looks.
we have put many many hours into raft. Also satisfactory, minecraft, tf2 (though my wife doesn’t like that one :)). I am open to more options as well.
Played a few of the lego games with my kids, like avengers and Harry potter. They have heaps of save points and were easy enough for my 5yr old to get through but still fun for me as well.
What is 99 days in the forest, for those of us who have never looked at a Roblox game?
Well I haven’t actually played it. But you start out in the center of a forest. You have a fire. You collect would to level up the fire. That opens more space in the forest… you collect things, level up things, find things… there is a random deer that attacks you at night or something. And some wolves at some point. But unlike raft, satisfactory or Minecraft it is a shorter overall play through. And the forest is different each time. So you play until you die or win. But it doesn’t let you save, which is annoying for me, even if a play through should only take an hour or so.
I am open to other ideas as well. We have put many many hours into raft. Also satisfactory, minecraft, tf2 (though my wife doesn’t like that one :) )
I can’t think of any short playthrough games off the top of my head, but Valheim might work if you’re open to something longer.
Sounds like Don’t Starve Together
