About This Game

A single-player HD‑2D turn‑based JRPG in which players create a customizable protagonist, recruit up to eight allies, and rebuild their destroyed hometown while pursuing a larger story of restoration and retribution. Gameplay mixes classic Octopath systems (Break/Boost) with new features like character creation, town‑building and large-party strategic battles; the full game is a lengthy (~100‑hour) single‑player experience.

Age Recommendations

ℹ️Ages 3-5

Not appropriate. Content (blood, suggestive themes, coarse language) and game length/complexity make it unsuitable for toddlers and preschoolers.

ℹ️Ages 6-8

Not recommended. Thematic violence, suggestive material and mature language mean parental supervision is required; gameplay complexity and length will likely exceed attention/skill levels.

ℹ️Ages 9-12

Caution. PEGI 12 rating suggests some 12‑year‑olds may be allowed, but ESRB rates it T (13+). Parents should review specific content (blood, language, suggestive themes) and consider waiting until mid/late preteen years.

ℹ️Ages 13-15

Generally appropriate with guidance. ESRB T rating aligns with this group; parents should be aware of mature themes, occasional strong language and blood—discuss content and set screen‑time limits.

ℹ️Ages 16-18

Appropriate for older teens and adults. Content aligns with ESRB T/PEGI 12 descriptors; expect strategic, lengthy single‑player gameplay with some mature themes.
