Advice for consumers

This game has received a PEGI 7 because it features mild violence that lacks any apparent harm or injury to fantasy or mythical beings and creatures, and pictures or sounds likely to be scary to young children. Not suitable for persons under 7 years of age.

Brief outline of the game

Adventure game in which storybook characters discover a three-dimensional world outside the pages of their book and must jump between 2D & 3D realms to save their friends.

Content specific issues

This game contains frequent mild violence. In all cases, violence is unrealistic in nature, as are reaction to it: enemies disappear in puffs of smoke when defeated, they often do not display visible harm or hurt, and if the player is defeated, they are shown a game-over screen, after which the game resets. The game features one segment in which the player battles a female elf on a collectible trading card. This elf displays some scratches on her body when she is almost defeated, though attacks in this segment do not connect. The harm remains minor in all cases. The game also features segments that may scare very young children, most notably a stealth section in which the player sneaks around realistic-looking beetles. These segments features a dark environment and ominous music.

However, there are no blood effects.
