I won’t call it pacifist mode exactly, but I prefer to play games like Tears of the Kingdom or even GTA by just walking around slowly and taking photos, observing the scenery. GTA San Andreas (the old ps2 version) is weirdly great for this because it has so many hazy colors and jaggy lines.
this popped up on my feed, and although I’m not familiar with the genre, it’s really interesting! Are there any places you’d recommend to start?
