What age is Life After Craft appropriate for?

Ludograph's rubric recommends a minimum age of 7+ for Life After Craft, based on benefits, risks, and content review.

How long should kids play Life After Craft?

Our session recommendation for Life After Craft is up to 120 minutes per day. It is derived from the game's own structure (natural stopping points, compulsion-loop design, monetization pressure, and social dynamics), not from a universal screen-time dose.

Session recommendations are design-based heuristics. Evidence linking specific daily durations to child outcomes is limited, and context matters as much as time; treat this as a starting point for household rules, not a clinical threshold.

What are the main risks of Life After Craft?

Risks are minimal, primarily limited to very mild violence typical of the arcade genre. The game avoids social risks, monetization pressures, and compulsion-loop design tactics, focusing instead on pure gameplay.
