Generally safe
# Wayward - Parent Guide Wayforward is a single-player survival game with pixel graphics and turn-based gameplay that focuses on crafting, farming, and exploration rather than combat. It contains only mild violence, no harsh language, and no scary content, making it generally appropriate for most children. The complex inventory and resource management may appeal more to older children or teens.
