My first thought was Never Alone
It is a puzzle platform adventure and the main character is a little girl probably around your daughter's age who befriends an arctic fox. It's an educational game about the Iñupiat people and their culture.
I dont know if there's any scary scenes but since the main character is a child and the main focus of the game is to be educational, I doubt there will be anything too inappropriate. There will probably be things that she won't understand but just about everything will have things here and there she wont understand - she's 5.
I was coming here to say the same thing - it's a fun sidescroller and I don't recall anything too scary other than a chase scene (which isn't gory at all). The educational bits are videos of the group's elders telling their traditional stories and way of life which she might still find interesting.
I think it could be a little too scary for a 5 year old, but it's definitely a great game for like an 8 year old.
In your opinion what would be too scary? I tend to have higher thresholds and limits than most people to what I call appropriate so I am curious.
Just the way the bad guy is presented there are definitely some scary moments in there. I mean I would definitely play it with a 5 year old myself, but just with the forewarning to look out for that.
