1. The first and obvious fact is that the game contains brutal scenes such as a head being cut off through a door, accompanied by quite a large blood splatter.
2. Younger people, especially preschool and primary school children, are much more emotional about trivial things. An ordinary computer game can be a huge emotional effort for a child, and videos of children's reactions to death in a game, e.g. in Minecraft, are only proof of this. An ordinary, seemingly harmless horror movie can be quite stressful for a child. Of course, there are also adults who approach such things emotionally.
3. Children's imagination is very active. Watching images of monsters chasing or other disturbing things may result in nightmares at night or simply fear associated with this time of day.
4. Another important thing is the role toys and stuffed animals play in a child's life. They are friends and comforters for the child in sad moments. Watching murderous mascots chasing you at such a young age simply washes away the friendly image of a stuffed animal in a child.
5. Scientists have already proven that watching horror movies and other scary things as a child may be associated with disorders that may occur in the future. Watching scary things as a child may make them more withdrawn in society in the future or may make them approach things more emotionally.
So I think that Indigo Park and other horror games will not be the best form of entertainment for a child at such a young age. However, if your nephew likes puzzle and adventure games,
Yes, there's no cursing nor second-SJW-intentions.
Maybe you need to care about the ending of Mollie sequence because we decapitate her and she spills, splash, and squish a lot of blood, A LOT
If you are an adult getting scared of FNAF and Indigo Park, you have problems to deal with.
Horror games are NEVER good for children
That's why kids these days are so fragile, parents protecting them from every experience that could make them stronger.
Just to show how wrong you are... You are assuming "strength" comes from physical labor. When I say this generation is weak, I'm not only talking about physically weak (and I'm saying that because the examples you gave).
Someone strong isn't about being physically capable of doing something, you are making your children weak because you don't let them have harsh experiences, instead of teaching them how harsh the world is and prepare them to face it, you call this "trauma" and bubble him from everything that could make him stronger.
Do you know what you do? Every single time your child falls into a pit (not physically speaking) instead of letting him try to get out by himself, you help him. Every single time he finds a rock in the middle of the road (again, not physically speaking) you help him pushing out of the way, but one day he'll find an obstacle that you won't be there to help him with, and he won't be able to progress because he couldn't do it alone at any moment.
Do you know the cycle of the soldier? It goes like this:
> Strong soldiers make easy times.
> Easy times make weak soldier.
> Weak soldiers make harsh times.
> Hard times make strong soldiers.
Instead of protecting your child from every single pebble around the corner, try to teach him that pebble is just a pebble and he can step over it. Your child is a glass bottle, at this point, and any wind will break him...
You... Are part of the problem why modern kids are weak and spoiled. Congratulations, you are making a weak child that will grow up to be a weak adult who won't be able to handle himself, he'll cry asking for "justice", "fairness", and "balance" instead of eating his pride and o the job.
I mean, Indigo Park wasn't scary per say but as an adult it was absolutely uncanny and atmospheric. More of a hair raising/tingling tension than screaming horror kinda thing.
No, it's not. It seems you don't watch truly horrifying things, that's why you say Indigo Park is uncanny, it's not. If you watch some YouTube series like Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, Salad Fingers, Mandela Catalog, Meat Farms, Greylock, Walten Files, The Smile Tapes, I could go on and on, just search for "Analog Horror".
How about games, then? Games you have a lot of that are WAY scarier than Indigo Park, FNAF Series, and Poppy Playtime, or Garten of Banban, those are, literal, scary games made FOR children, no adult in the planet should be scared by them... One thing is jumpscare, jumpscare will get, literally, everyone because they are designed for that, a sudden sound, with something popping up in your face.
But there are games that makes you feel FEAR, games that makes you think about if you should keep playing or no, games that makes ADULTS feel fear... The truth is... Parents protect children so much these days that they don't even know what is true horror or true scare, they think someone calling their child "he" or "she" is already mind shattering.
Indigo Park is nothing, it's an awesome game for children, similar to FNAF, Garden of Banban, and Poppy Playtime. Those games are good scare for children, shouldn't scare adults, and (if you want a healthy child instead a fragile one) you should let your children to play those games.
Just one last point... I bet mothers these days don't even read scary stories for their children.
The kind of thing that would easily give it a Mature badge if it was ESRB rated.
