Advice for consumers
This game has received a PEGI 7 because it features violence that lacks any apparent harm or injury to fantasy or mythical beings and creatures, pictures or sounds likely to be scary to young children, and non-realistic looking violence towards characters which although human are not very detailed. Not suitable for persons under 7 years of age.
Brief outline of the game
Platform adventure game in which the player's character wakes from a coma to discover that the people around him have disappeared.
Content specific issues
This game features combat between human-like and fantasy characters. The violence is unrealistic, as are reactions to it. Enemies flash when hit and break into particles when defeated. When human-like enemies are encountered, they are undetailed and cartoon-like in visual style, making the violence unrealistic and less disturbing in nature. The game also features frequent encounters with characters and creatures that are likely to scare young children. Some locations in the game are also scary and potentially unsettling, such as an old asylum which the player visits during a thunderstorm.
