The debut game from Black Sheep Game Makers: A Turn-Based Party-Combat Comedy RPG with Skill-Based Quicktime Events.
Young Scout gets transported to the zany, offbeat, and magical otherworld of Atlas in retribution for not feeding their leftover pizza to a stray cat. Along their way they fight nasty enemies and meet powerful friends, participate in two (2) coups, investigate a mafia made of animated fast food, fight pirates, ghosts, and sharks (one enemy,) save a pop band on the brink of collaspe, climb the highest mountain in the world, and then travel to third, even purpler world to fight gNazis and defeat GNOME HITLER. But even then it's not over, will the final showdown between Scout and the Cat be the death of one of them, or will they all go home unscathed? Only you can decide.
And what will happen to those you met along the way? To those kids who just wanted to go to school? To the sheriff of that wild west saloon? To the police and the pirates and the wolves and the beach resort and the citizens of the ghost town and Atlas' favorite band? There's only one way to find out.

*Found in a second piece, as if it was written much later.*
All kidding aside, Wonderlanders is intended for most players of retro-inspired 2d RPGs, was inspired heavily by Undertale/Deltarune (see El Turneda and also the logo) and actually started development with the delightfully insane premise "Earthbound with dungeons."
Its probably family friendly, but it does have some somewhat dark humor and cartoon blood. There aren't actual Nazis, just a group of gnomes (read: Interdimensional Alien People) who represent a very heavily mocked cartoonification of Nazi ideology. Up to one person, and in one possible playthrough, a child, can be kidnapped and eaten by wolves (this is not including the main character and one other character, who are also children, and can die by wolf). There are implications of mental illness attached to the randomly violent actions of one character. Swearing occurs in the story, but no swear worse than frick is ever on screen or in the audio, though players who know the swears used can figure out what they are if they think about it.
