Parent Pro-Tip

Parents should be mindful of the game's potential for extended play sessions due to its open-ended nature. Discuss with children the ethical implications of the in-game actions, such as the treatment of Pals, and set clear boundaries around screen time. Be aware of the competitive aspect in multiplayer.

Bechdel Test?The Bechdel Test checks whether a game has at least two named female characters who talk to each other about something other than a man. A simple measure of representation.N/A — no named characters

The game does not appear to have named characters in the traditional sense; player-created characters and 'Pals' do not fit the criteria.

Parent Pro-Tip

Encourage children to discuss their strategies for base building and resource management. Ask them about the different Pals they encounter and how they utilize their unique abilities. This can foster critical thinking and creative problem-solving discussions.
