Some of my favorite games with primarily or exclusively non-violent verbs:

- Gone Home
- Firewatch
- Puzzle Agent and Puzzle Agent 2
- Signs of the Sojourner
- Disco Elysium
- Tetris
- Wordle
- Squardle
- Knotwords
- Opus Magnum (right up until I slammed into the difficulty curve)

Cheers for the Little Noah recommendation. This was my first time hearing about it

  • Heaven's Vault
  • Return of the Obra Dinn
  • Most old-school Sierra/LucasArts-style adventure games, most of the time

It's kinda easy to think about puzzle games when I think of pacifist games but I also think Baba is You really fits this theme because it's all about the verbs.
