Ages 14+, but every child is different
The mature, dark themes of a global conspiracy combined with the somber tone of a dystopian future require a level of emotional maturity typically found in mid-teens. Complex decision-making mechanics and narrative-heavy investigation gameplay are best suited for older players capable of engaging with morally gray consequences.
