Sphera: The Inner Journey

Sphera: The Inner Journey is rated E10+ for Everyone 10+ by the ESRB with Violent References. This is a hidden-object adventure game in which players assume the role of Tess, a lonely girl who escapes reality by entering a fantastical dream world. Players solve logic-based puzzles, interact with various objects, and search through screens filled with jumbled objects to advance the storyline. Some sequences include darker tones and thematic elements: small skulls and skeletons slumped against a wall; two siblings wrestling for control over a sword; a snarling witch that threatens the central character (e.g., “You'll stay for supper . . . you are supper!”). There are also references to violence in the dialogue (e.g., “You cannot fight me. If you kill me you will destroy yourself” and “[Y]our brother . . . All he does is hit you and destroy the things you love.”).
