Rating Summary
Girl Genius: Adventures in Castle Heterodyne is rated T for Teen by the ESRB with Blood and Gore, Fantasy Violence, and Mild Suggestive Themes. This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of an inventor as she tries to restore glory to her family name. From a third-person perspective, players explore a castle, interact with characters, and battle human and fantastical enemies (e.g., small creatures, robots) in melee-style combat. Players use large wrenches and gadgets to defeat enemies. Battles are highlighted by impact sounds, cries of pain, and colorful light effects. Some comic panels depict further instances of violence and/or blood and gore: a character's arm torn off; a creature beheaded, accompanied by a blood-splatter effect; characters stabbed or impaled; bodies lying in pools of blood. Comic panels also contain suggestive material: a woman described as a "tramp"; a silhouette of a character showering; a female character wearing a revealing outfit (e.g., deep cleavage) in bed.
