Oh, and Harold Halibut. It’s stop-motion and heavy on character interaction, with a story that keeps the action mild (on a level with a kid’s TV show). A very calm protagonist. Aside from the visual style, all those things are reasons that it got mixed reviews, but could fit what you want.

I had trouble with very long loading times on the deck sometimes, but it’s a slow-paced game, so I didn’t even mind too much.
