Overview
Naiad is a gentle adventure game where exploration is fuelled not by extreme distances, dangers or enemies, but by the simple joy of floating in rivers and pools. As a story about nature unfolds you control a nymph-like character who swims through levels that change each time to you play them.
“In Greek mythology, the Naiad is a nymph presiding over fountains, wells, springs, streams, brooks and other bodies of fresh water.” There is no death or threat. It's designed for a single player, to offer fun and peaceful interactions for "anyone who likes to relax and get lost in nature".

In addition to the similar games listed above, which have been linked to this game specifically in the database, you may find games with a similar theme to Naiad in the following lists:
Find Calm From The Storm
These games offer ways to consciously step outside the day's stresses and pressures to create space for self-care. This may be to distract yourself with calming unpressured tasks or to visit a world that is tranquil and relaxing or maybe just spend time reflecting on your emotions in a safe space.
Commit No Violence
While a significant portion of video games focus on combat and competition, these titles offer a less aggressive way to progress and win. None of these games enable or require the player to cause harm to another living thing -- even Mario's merciless campaign to stomp on every Goomba he meets bars him from this list. Or then there's catching and selling fish in Animal Crossing that rule that one out.
Many of them are aimed at children and families, but you'll be surprised how many explore deeper, more mature themes in their narratives, or require just as much skill as a fast-paced first-person shooter. This means there's plenty of offer for parents who might lack the reflexes (or interest) to survive a round of Fortnite.
