Character selection offers fixed models with no pronoun options, body-type sliders, or gender customization beyond choosing among the established kids; the narrative and gameplay focus exclusively on exploration, crafting, base-building, and combat with no romance systems or identity-focused subplots. Searches across story details, character lists, and developer statements turn up zero references to LGBTQ elements, DEI initiatives, or social commentary in Grounded itself—unlike later Obsidian titles. The provided screenshots reinforce this: standard kid designs in everyday clothing, a classic oversized backyard setting, and a neutral sci-fi lab interior with no activist framing or altered canon characters.
