# THE LONGING - Parent Guide
An experimental indie adventure where your character waits in a cave for 400 days of real time—you can play actively or let it progress in the background. There's no violence, scary content, or inappropriate language, making it generally appropriate for children, though the slow, unconventional gameplay may only appeal to patient, older children.
