  • This is an interesting question but I don’t think it is restricted to green. Isn’t the same true of purple, blue and red? I’m not talking about just reddish like human hair or a red panda but truly bright red like a cardinal. I would imagine it has something to do with our evolutionary history. Complete speculation here but laced with a few facts I picked up. I hear the common ancestor of mammals emerged around the time the dinosaurs became extinct and was basically a tiny rodent like a shrew. I wonder if as a small animal that can’t fly or swim it had to hide a lot and basically just came in shades of brown. So maybe any genes for other colors were lost before that common mammalian ancestor emerged and although mammals have lots of patterns they don’t have many colors.







  • Some of these might be a little more like 8 than 5 because they have storybook-scary but still mentioning for you to have a look and decide.

    Lost Words - Beyond the Page
    Unpacking
    Epistory - Typing Chronicles
    One Step from Eden
    Wargroove
    Tsioque

    Technically not female lead but kinda close and definitely age-appropriate:

    Chicory - From creators on Wandersong + Celeste. Not positive your character is canonically female but let’s just call it very plausible and you are filling in for the titular character who is called “she”.
    Donut County (technically the male racoon is the main character but the only human and next-most important character is female)
    Journey (likely canonically no specific gender but great game, no dialog and could easily interpret as female if you choose)

    Not what you asked for but maybe consider:

    Beglitched - No human characters other than the player, puzzle game with pink and purple hacker aesthetic.
    Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime - Androgynous animals and humans pilot a wacky ship in 4 player co-op lots of hearts.


  • I like some of the other suggestions better than this but if you’ve already tried communicating about it and other things haven’t worked, I wonder if for some cases you could convince him to take a video or a picture. Like, if it’s a cool thing he wants you to see instead of interrupting you record it and share it when you’re available instead of right now, interrupting you. Again, I think the other proposals are better but I wonder… if you’re right about the motivation at least sometimes being just wanting to share something it might be worth attempting.
