What age is MY FATHER LIED appropriate for?

How long should kids play MY FATHER LIED?

Our session recommendation for MY FATHER LIED 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 MY FATHER LIED?

While 'My Father Lied' is largely free of manipulative design, its themes of 'madness' and 'political intrigues' may introduce mild fear/horror elements and some implied violence. Parents should be aware of these content risks, though the game avoids common monetization and social risks.
