The competitive VS mode, while optional, introduces potential social risks such as competitive toxicity and social comparison. While direct stranger chat is absent, the competitive nature itself can impact emotional regulation and self-worth.

  • DSA:What Ludograph checks: whether the game's design gives minors the transparency the EU Digital Services Act expects: plain terms, honest defaults, and clear reporting routes.: Estimated from review data. No dark pattern or child-targeting concerns found.
  • GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.: Estimated from review data. No privacy or child-targeting concerns found.
  • ODDS:What Ludograph checks: whether paid random-reward drop rates are disclosed, as required in China, Japan and South Korea.: Estimated from review data. No paid random-reward mechanics found, so drop-rate disclosure requirements do not apply.

Ludograph gives Our Roost a rating of 73/100, recommended for ages 13 and up. It scores well on developmental benefits with manageable risks.

What age is Our Roost appropriate for?

Ludograph's rubric recommends a minimum age of 13+ for Our Roost, based on benefits, risks, and content review.

How long should kids play Our Roost?

Our session recommendation for Our Roost 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 Our Roost?

The competitive VS mode, while optional, introduces potential social risks such as competitive toxicity and social comparison. While direct stranger chat is absent, the competitive nature itself can impact emotional regulation and self-worth.
