Take a look at Dredge! It’s a creepy horror-ish game where you play as a fishing boat. There are some creepy elements at night but it’s fairly causal overall. I really loved the atmosphere and light story elements as well as the fun fishing games that is the majority of the gameplay.
If he's a precocious reader, Sunless Sea is a horror game with a similar sort of theme. The content is much weirder and more horrifying than Dredge, but it's 99.9% delivered via text, so the impact may feel more tolerable regardless.
But again it's very text-heavy, possibly too much so depending on the kid. Probably too difficult, too.
Great game though.
