Isn't really a game but Flower is a great relaxing experience.

Maybe Deadly Rooms of Death, a playable version of which is shareware, along with a thousand or so fan levels (also like Knytt Stories, btw).
Some Drod levels are more difficult than others, but especially if you stick to some of the easier levels, on the whole it lets you just sit back and figure out how to clear a room at your own pace.

Leisure Suite Larry sounds like a good idea. I tried one of them a while back and liked it, but forgot all about it until now.
Their awesome games for their time really, and enough of them to keep you busy for some time.

Eternal Darkness might of just been soothing because it brought a lot of nostalgia with it. Reminded of playing Myst, 7th Guest, etc as a kid, and the magic system was interesting.
Since you mentioned 7th Guest have you played its sequel "The 11th Hour"? Excellent game. Personally I`m more of a fan of the first game, but of the people I know who have actually played the two games, most prefer the 2nd game.
Other than that I`d recommend on the adventure side of things "Full Throttle" as its definately one of my favorite adventure style games of all time.

Didn't think of it earlier, but Beyond Good and Evil certainly deserves mention.

A bit of a necro:
Beyond Good and Evil was really good, and a sequel is coming! I'm excited.
I've messed around a tiny bit with the leisure suit Larry Games, but the primary "relaxing" game I've been playing lately has been World of Goo. So fun, pretty and it actually has a lot of atmosphere and story.
Still need to get a PS2 :)

Teamkilling people on Hardcore S&D in Call of Duty 4 makes me feel warm and fuzzy..does that count as a game?

Oh I forgot about my all-time favourite late-night game: Hexic HD. And no, the microsoft online version does not count. For some reason they decided to make the Xbox version the ambient version, with a wonderfully dark and evocative (

Rez by Sega Amusement Vision is fucking great. Especially the Rez HD enhanced port for XBLA.

Rez for Dreamcast was pretty neat 10 years ago as well.
The HD port is basically the one reason (ok, that and Forza 2) why I've been debating getting a used 360. I wish Sega would just port it to PC and throw it on Steam.
