  • 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.

These reflect Ludograph's assessment of the game's design practices against each framework's criteria, not a legal compliance determination.

Parents ask…

Is Silhouette Mirage safe for kids?

Ludograph gives Silhouette Mirage a rating of 51/100, recommended for ages 7 and up. It delivers genuine benefits but carries design risks that deserve a close look.

What age is Silhouette Mirage appropriate for?

Ludograph's rubric recommends a minimum age of 7+ for Silhouette Mirage, based on benefits, risks, and content review. That is stricter than ESRB E, because our assessment weighs behavioral design risks, not just content.

How long should kids play Silhouette Mirage?

Our session recommendation for Silhouette Mirage 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.

While Silhouette Mirage is generally a low-risk game, some players may find the difficulty challenging, potentially leading to frustration. The game features mild fantasy violence with cartoon-like explosions and defeated enemies disappearing. There are no social or monetary risks associated with this single-player, offline title.
