Content specific issues

This game feature unrealistic combat between human-like and fantasy characters. These characters are cartoon-like in nature and the violence itself is over-the-top and unrealistic.

The cartoon-like visuals help in making the violence less disturbing. The game also features scenes and designs that would likely scare young children, such as a huge monster with tentacles.

Brief outline of the game

Adaptation of the classic arcade game, Arkanoid, in which a spaceship destroys various bricks before eventually fighting a villain.

Content specific issues

Apart from destroying bricks, players eventually fight the villainous Doh by attacking a giant pixelated head in the middle of the screen. When blows are landed on the head, it flashes and makes a sound as its health bar depletes. The head can also shoot beams towards the player's character. The villain character is presented in a very abstract manner, making the violence less impactful.

Advice for consumers

This game has received a PEGI 12 because it features realistic violence of a minor nature towards human-like characters, as well as scenes of moderate horror. Not suitable for persons under 12 years of age.

Brief outline of the game

Horror adventure game in which a bullied young girl wakes up in a mysterious forest, following a bad day at school, and finds out she's been cursed. She must roam her hometown after dark, attempting to regain her memories and break the curse before sunrise, while being hunted by malevolent spirits.

Content specific issues

This game features scenes of bullying as the central character has things thrown at her and dropped onto her. While she is not physically harmed, her reactions are realistic and she does fall down. During the main part of gameplay, the player's character must avoid making eye contact with evil spirits. As a result, the character spends much of the game with her hands over her eyes, reducing her field of view. Instead, she relies on the beating of her heart to indicate the presence of monsters. The closer the monsters come, the more intense her heartbeat and the more dramatic the sound effects, which create a sense of dread. If the character is touched by the spirits, blood appears on the screen and she is transported to the previous save point.

Other issues

There is also use of the terms 'damn' and 'hell'.
