There is a whole industry for women’s games. Good +15 years ago I was part of external / independent teams that developed games for them. (They were not that successful hits but still)
It is just not as evident as steam or any other game store: Bigfish Games
Now they are just starting to realize that, there are women on Steam.
But don’t forget all the big cozy hits that are “surprising” hits: Stardew, Portia/Sandrock. Casual games are thriving as they should!
I recently played a demo for a game called Greenhearth Necromancer that was definitely made to be geared more towards women. It’s about you moving into your grandma’s old apartment after she dies and using your witch powers to bring dead plants back to life.
It’s a little slice of life type game. There are quirky neighbors you can meet and do/grow things for, building/neighborhood events you can choose to take part in, and it’s all wrapped in a theme of grief and mourning.
Thank you for the recommendation!
The grief theme reminds me Spiritfarer, I haven’t finished that game either. And I think that was kinda targeted game also…
