Age?

[The Jagji]

One of my little brothers wants to play this, but I am unsure what age group the game is amied at. I have not really been whatching it much, but now there is a demo, my brother wants to know if its ok for him to play...

He is 11, and my youngest borther, who is 7 would most lilky end up playing it too. They have both been whatching ealry builds of the game on youtube.

Any help would be great.

Its honestly for all ages there doesn't seem to be anything in it that could stop child from enjoying other than it just being weird as for content such as swearing or violence there really doesn't seem to be anything of the sort. However since it is a horror game some moments especially in alpha 4 could be seen as creepy and unnerving for some and those are supposed to translate over to the full game.

Yeah, I defently feel the creepyness coming off the traliers. lol. Thanks for the info.

Props to you for looking after your little bros!

I have nothing to add, other than the game seems about as scary as Finding Nemo. Which, as we all know, is absolutely horrifying.

I still have to close my eyes when those horable sharks show up...

In simple its rated E untill you get to the basement then I would say T for graphical content.

I don't trust ratings to much. I mean, I let him play Borderlands, and thats rated MA15+ here, but its cartoony as ♥♥♥♥, but I wont let him play, say, GTA (tho that is rated R18+ here) or the Mass Effect games, becuse there more muture in content.

Borderlands has constant swearing, talk of suicide, actual in game on screen suicide (although it is done in a comical way), sexual talk through out the entire game and much much more, such as decapitations, and drug/alcohol references. Don't let its cartoony look fool you its absolutely a mature game and the rating board is right on rating it as so.

Oh, don't you wore. I know about all that. I played them too. The thing is, it dose not have the same kind of effect as other games, due to, in part, the art style, but mostly, as you said, the comedy. The thing is, I see that as an opportunity to show him ♥♥♥♥ he should not do. He knows that. His swearing has not gone up, in fact he dose not swear at all, and he knows words that he should not use. Witch is good. Same goes, in part, for my 8 You bro.

The main thing for this game was the horrorish vibe I got from the trailer, as I was not sure if he could handle it or not. Demo seams fairly tame, but I am assuming, as you said, there is more to it. It is just a demo after all. And its not like the stuff in BL is not in any TV show anyway. Hell, Minecraft has suicides in it, thanks to the creepers.

My philosophy is that if they know things, and are then told WHY there not allowed to do them, then there learning stuff on the way. But only if the game is something I have played, witch means I can tell whether or not he would be able to handle it. Though, I would NEVER let him play an R18 game.
