# EarthBound Parental Guide EarthBound is a quirky RPG about children fighting supernatural threats with moderate cartoon violence and mild language. While generally suitable for teens, younger children might find some creepy enemies unsettling. The game's offbeat humor and cultural references are geared toward older players, so consider your child's maturity level before purchasing.
