# Hollow Knight - Parent Guide
Hollow Knight is a challenging 2D platformer with dark fantasy themes and moderate scary imagery that may disturb younger children, despite its cute art style. The "strong" violence level and difficult gameplay make it better suited for mature children ages 12+. There's no inappropriate language or sexual content, but younger players may find the atmosphere unsettling.
