Okay, I'm gonna be
here, and ask: What about platformers? There are plenty of them that have a solid story, problem solving, and no violence. Are they adventure games? And there are RPGs where it's quite possible to talk/sneak your way out of situations - no violence involved and story heavy. And, iirc, Thief encourages non-violence, exploration, and problem solving.
