Parent Pro-Tip

Sheltered is a challenging and mature survival strategy game.

Discuss the game's themes with your child, emphasize the importance of managing playtime to avoid burnout, and encourage reflection on the tough decisions made within the game. Be aware that the game is designed to create a sense of continuous struggle, which might make it difficult for players to naturally disengage.
