Post some calm slow-paced games with little or no conflict, which are comfy to play on a cold autumn day.

If you know the game by heart it's very smooth.
Also, losing a life isn't frustrating, you just restart from the beginning of the level or the checkpoint and try again.
DKC2 and 3 do have more conflict where you actually need to pay attention, especially because each level has different pacing and mechanics, but DKC is pretty straighforward, a simple platformer with great flow and movement.

It troubled me enough that I had to replay and get the secret ending, which is slightly less troubling. (DX version ruins it of course.)

The gameboy version allows you to screenskip, which allows you to sequence break, as well as access a pretty interesting glitch that allows you to swim through walls and get more than the maximum number of hearts allowed. The DX version doesn't allow for screenskipping.

Romance of the three kingdoms is one of my goto comfy games, recently been playing through some of the series again. Very few games hit my autism/I wish I was a warlord general spot so well. A bit frustrating though since each entry is so different, and yet none of them quite hit the mark 100%.
Aerobiz and it's sequel are also great and replaced the wars with advertising models and airport negotiations if you want to remove serious conflict.

I see the appeal of the game but as a person who uses photography as a relaxing tool I found this game stressful as fuck. You're constantly on rails going from left to right, no option to just take a stroll and calmly wait for opportunities.
