Play Overview
Play focuses on exploration and unlocking the world by freeing it of the dark black plants. You play both Miku and Taku who arrive in the world and work to undo the cursed by finding and restoring seeds to their proper place.
Unlike many other adventure games, this is an experience devoid of violence and combat. As you solve the different seed-based puzzles you can head out by boat across tranquil waters and storm-driven oceans. The islands are rich with areas to explore, climb and interact with as you collect mysterious relics of a distant past and scour the buildings for the seeds of its salvation.
The result is a Zelda-like adventure but without the combat. As you explore and discover the world and its collectibles there's a beautiful journey to go on.

Age Ratings
Rated for younger players in the US. Rated ESRB EVERYONE. This is a third-person exploration game in which players control a pair of siblings as they navigate partially submerged ruins. Players can traverse a variety of structures while searching for collectibles and diaries.
Along with the large skyscraper sized faceless demonic-looking creature, there's a moment with the girl collapses unexpectedly. Also the girl has a plant growing up her arm. For very young players these things are a useful extra consideration.
Skill Level
7+ year-olds usually have the required skill to enjoy this game. For younger players with the patience and inquisitiveness to explore and discover the world, this is a great fit. There's no jumping as the game does this for you. You do need to use the map and compass to carefully find all the items, and have the desire to complete your collections. You can co-play with a parent and very young child where you hand the child the controller to use the telescope and find items in the world for you both to collect.
