Bara says...

Ages 12+, but every child is different

The game features frequent cartoon-style combat, abstract themes of brainwashing, and a surreal, satirical tone that requires a baseline level of media literacy. It is suitable for pre-teens who can distinguish between the game's absurd, fictional world and real-world social dynamics.
