Advice for consumers
This game was rated PEGI 12 for moderate violence. Not suitable for persons under 12 years of age.
Brief outline of the game
Atmospheric puzzle game based on Alaskan folklore, in which the player alternates between the role of Iñupiaq girl, Nuna, and her arctic fox.
Content specific issues
On her journey, Nuna comes across challenging obstacles which lead to a grim end should she fail: hazards include being eaten by a polar bear, being crushed between two blocks of ice, falling on icicles or plunging into icy Alaskan waters. However, there is no gore in these scenes and Nuna awakes from the same point to carry on her journey. Other instances of violence include one in which the fox’s neck is snapped – with no sound or blood – and its limp body is thrown into the abyss. These scenes were considered suitable at a PEGI 12 level as they all occur in non-detailed, side-scroller view, lessening the realism of the violence.

Violence is pretty mild with players engaging in turn based battle scenes against human and fantasy characters. Players are armed with both weapons and magical abilities, and graphical injury details are not depicted during battle scenes. However, there are some scenes throughout the game where non-playable characters are depicted lying dead in puddles of their own blood. Such scenes may be horrifying to younger audiences. Mildly offensive and sexually suggestive language is often heard throughout the game and includes references to ‘boobies’ and ‘titties’, as well as ‘bastard’, ‘bitch’, ‘crap’ and ‘shit’.
