Pacifist Challenge Run Games List

This "Pacifist Challenge Run" games list will feature games in which the majority of the game is playable without killing anything, even if the game's design eventually forces the player to reluctantly dispatch one or more entities to complete the game. Some of the games on the list are "prospects" that we haven't directly tested, but have been recommended to us.
(Also see our separate "Zero Kill Run" game list for games that can reputedly be won without killing a single thing.)

* Note: This and all other lists are still under active construction, and will feature brief descriptions and links soon— but we're making the list of prospects that fit the list criteria visible now (just in case it helps anyone find a good prospect early on). Good luck!
