Hello people.:wave: I know I'm asking an awkward question here,:blink: but really, is there any game which is non-violent? I tried Mirror's Edge, but that too has fightings. I'm not asking for child-games but "real life game" or "min game". A game where the player interacts with people, live his life and explore the world as we do. :rolleyes:

Its been some years now, I saw a prison-like game in the movie "kick ass", can't find the name of the game. Also I don't want online games.:sealed:

Strategy games are not what I am asking for, but do name some good strategy games. I once played "Age Of Mythology", it was nice.

Mystery Case files games are good, but they are all the same, do also give me some name like MCF and other detective games.

I have a laptop with Radeon HD6770m.

I love Max Payne 1,2,3. But now a days I don't want any fighting.:fencing:

Hmm...
1. Portal 1
2. Portal 2

I am pretty sure that you might have played those two games but still I named them. You gave me a challenging task to find such games. Also if you are open to Indie games then I gave give you a lot of names.
Do you want stealth games in which you can complete entire games without killing anyone at all ??

As for Strategy games, they are again about making your empire and destroying others. I am pretty sure that you can bring down other's empire without killing their soldiers. Anyway here are few good ones
1. Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars (RTS)
2. Starcraft 2 WoL and HoS (RTS)
3. Civilization 5 (TBS)
4. World in Conflict (RTS)
5. Age of Empires 2 or 3
3.

As everyone suggested play portal series . If you want non - violent genre, then indie games are best . Gone home ( one of the best game of 2013) involve lot of exploring and is first person . Dear esther, rayman series , limbo( although it involve some brutual 2-d death),brother - a tale of two sons , sim series are few other game which is pretty good.

Portal series, QUBE, Inmomentum.

You could also try TF2 in low violence mode if you are ok with shooting people which turn into springs after you shoot em.

You can perhaps find many of those in indie section. Ether One is a new release, and from the looks of it is mostly exploration and puzzle solving.

And maybe you can try one which I was going to ask about - Goat Simulator.

any GTA. except missions which involves killing.
you can call backup or cops to do your dirty job in gta 4 & EfLC. same to some extent in GTA SA.
GTA SA is a lot more funny than any other gta (dialogs...).

hey found another one.. it's called moonbase alpha > *www.nasa.gov/offices/education/programs/national/ltp/games/moonbasealpha/index.html
downloads on steam

its a multiplayer third person, upto six players on a server have to repair an asteroid struck moonbase before time runs out. you have to work in moon gravity with wrenches, beacons, blowtorches, rovers, but you can use only one thing at a time, and most of the work is real slow so there is plenty of time to chat.

Check out Syberia 1 and 2-these are 2 of finest non-violent adventure games I've ever played.They focus primarily on exploration and puzzle solving-you should definitely give them a try!

Now that I have started thinking all the games I've played with the exception of sports and racing, there no single game without violence.

What happened to game industry!?

There is a very old game... Myst or Riven, I can't recall... Its available at GOG. Its devoid of violence, its more about fiddling with switches and levers....

Otherwise, I can't recall myself of a decent latest game with no violence, that is a first person....


I think you can get GTA San Andreas, get a decent 100% game passed savegame, (with all territories being Grove street) from the internet, put it in the right folder...
This way the violence has happened before hand, and you won't see it again.

And then you can give CJ the life of a common honest American man.
Ignore the Rhyno Tank and Hydra near your Grove street home... They're not for you.
Just pick up a simple 4 door sedan from your garage/ Sweet's home and drive slow, follow the traffic signals well, like rest of the traffic.

If you get a wanted level, let the police arrest you by being in a car and slowing down. After all, you will only be slightly penalized, and weapons don't matter to the common citizen anyways, right?

For adventure, once in a while, you can go to visit San Fierro and try some parachute jumping, or try flying a plane legally (you already got a license) in the desert airstrip near Las Venturas. Boat Driving is also a good idea.
You can participate in legal vehicle races and horse race betting.

Also, proving yourself a good San Andreas Gentleman, you can give lift to some hard working ladies you can see around San Andreas.
Just don't stop in a lonely place, or you might lose some "money" from your account.

And you can do community service by acting as a Ambulance service. (Police service would be violent).


You can drown in ocean. You can ride cycles around the town... You can climb mountains.


See, San Andreas can be played with a very light hand, and you might not see violence.
I know all this might sound funny, but San Andreas is a good game to kill time... :)

"the vanishing of ethan carter" is the most amazingly beautiful first person non violent game and as well a fantastic mystery story,and no,before even you ask it i am gonna say although from the screenshots it may look that it maybe like a horror game,it's not,atleast not in a traditional sense.

^ True that. One of the best stories in a game after Gone Home.
OP can also try Sherlock Holmes Crimes and Punishments.

I never understood the story behind Gone Home. Maybe it's because this is the 1st game I played in this kind.

That would be the most boring way to play San Andreas.

Then you'll certainly enjoy GTA5 first person on PC.

Cruising around the city, hiking, mountain biking, visiting strip club, picking up hookers, Axe murdering people. Everything you do in your day today life but instead in 1080p at 60 fps.

Then you have missed on one of the best pc game of 2013. I highly recommend you play it again.
