The Wild at Heart

The Wild at Heart is rated E10+ for Everyone 10+ by the ESRB with Comic Mischief, Fantasy Violence, and Language. This is an adventure game in which players assume the role of a young runaway exploring forests, caves, and ancient ruins. From a 3/4-overhead perspective, players use a vacuum and forest sprites to solve puzzles, interact with the environment, and battle fantasy creatures (e.g., mushroom guardians, insects, slime monsters). Players' sprites swarm enemies and punch them until defeated. Battles are accompanied by impact sounds, cries of pain, and screen-shaking effects. A handful of sequences reference bathroom humor: a creature vomiting off screen, with retching sounds; a mushroom identified as “poop fruit”; a character referred as "fart face." The word “a*s” appears in the game.
