Ages 15+, but every child is different

The themes of prison escapes, vigilantism, and vengeance are better suited for older teens capable of distinguishing between game-world rebellion and real-world criminal consequences. The mature tone focuses on law-breaking and violent retribution, requiring a level of emotional maturity to process.
