To the moon

Psychonauts

Full throttle (gritty tone, one scene of bike fighting)

Point n click adventures e.g. Monkey island and Indiana jones series

There's a lot of nonviolent puzzle games. Like portal, superliminal, antichamber, stanley parable, ect.

Full Throttle is one of my favorite games of all time but there is a fair bit of gunplay and a scene that gets revisited several times where a man beats an elderly man to death with his own cane

If you’re OK with that though the Lucasarts point and click games are really good.

To the moon is one of the two games where I legit shed some tears at the end. That game (and its sequel, Finding paradise) are hands down the best story games I have ever played.

Psychonauts is gorgeous and magical but also has a huge number of little dreamland inhabitants who want to beat the snot out of you, and whom you must defeat with your various psychic powers.
