Common Sense Media: you are dropped into a colourful fantasy world as the hero. Check the in-game shop and online settings before handing it over (ESRB: In-Game Purchases, Users Interact). Nobody on our team has played the opening yet.

Good to know: Most items are unknown. FGD's report covers only a few features.

Sensory scale

Each item is scored from 0 to 3: 0 = None; 1 = Mild, or can be turned off; 2 = Frequent; 3 = Intense and can’t be avoided. “Not enough info yet” means we couldn’t find good evidence, so we didn’t guess. For “Ease of stopping”, a higher score means it’s harder to stop.
