How is this title for kids? (reccomended age restriction)

[AnarchAL]

My ten year old son really wants to play this game. Just wondering what kind of horror elements there are outside of basic cartoony creepiness.


Thanks in advance for the help!

Well, there's jumpscares. Also contains flashing lights and fast images.

TEEN:
Intense Cartoon Violence (Kind of an over-statement, in my opinion)
Animated Bloodshed
Mild Language

Would you mind elaborating on the satanic stuff, Valuable Trash?

I'm not religious, but I do have a special dislike for Satanism especially when it comes to exposure to children.

There's a pentagram, and the main show character is basically a demon/devil. Probably got summoned with some ritual going on.

Don't let him go deeper into the fandom.
Just don't. You know how fandoms are.
They make sex artwork, they curse a lot and sometimes they even start flame wars.

"Don't let your children play this game!" It have really scary and unexpected jumpscares. Kids under 10 shouldn't play it. And if your son did play horror games before he can try it.

Taken from one of the recorders you run across in chapter one,

"Also, get this, Joey had each one of us donate something from our work stations. We put them on these little pedestals in the break room. To help appease the gods, Joey says. Keep things going."

This is around the same part where you have to get the 6 items you need in order to get the ink machine working.

There's also some sort of ritual that goes on near the end of chapter two, but I can't explain it without spoiling the chapter for you and anyone else that hasn't played or watched it yet, so avoid hovering over the black bars if you don't want spoilers.

After activating the drain required to take the stairs, you get in the room where the door to the stairs are. Sammy Lawrence knocks you out before you can get to the stairs and brings you to a mysterious room where he does a ritual to have Bendy, his savior, claim his offering, which is you. It backfires as Bendy does something to Sammy that we don't quite know about yet.

If that's too much Satanism for your kid to handle, I suggest getting him into FNAF (short for Five Nights at Freddy's) instead. It's another popular horror game, but it does not have any Satanism involved. Just a complex lore that has its main basis around child murder. Also, jumpscares. Tons of jumpscares.

Because


No swearing or blood :D





















































NEVER THERE IS A DAMN SWEAR IN THE GAME



(sorry)

[CrunchYAAAAAN]

Not really gruesome. No language that you wouldn't see beyond a PG rating. There's no 'blood', but lots of ink in a black and white game meant to look like 'blood' is spilt all over the place. One character (a cartoon that looks like Goofy) is seen vivisected in chapter one, with cartoony ribs poking out. Demonic imagery is plentiful due to the antagonist being a devil. Pentagrams inked over coffins, etc. Bendy (the demon) also has a cultlike following and a worshipper who tries to kill you in the second chapter. The demonic is clearly portrayed as 'evil' and not encouraged.

The bigger concern would be if your child handles jumpscares well, it's a surreal horror game, but still a horror game. Could cause nightmares.

Well, apart for some pentagrams, coffins and the word "hell" repeated 2 times by the main character, i don't think your kid would have any problems with the game, except for the jumpscares. in chapter 2, bendy, the "villain" chases you and you have to run behind a door If you think it is too much you can always tell your child that he/she can't play. Since the internet is pretty messed up, if he DOES play the game tell him not to search any images of bendy, becuase, well...
1) Porn
2) Swear
3) MAYBE horror
4) Everything else that is included into a fanbase.
Maybe if you are still not convinced you can always sit next to your child has he/she plays, so you can see when it is the right moment to make him/her stop.

[❤️ Mystery ❤]

The devlopers said this was NOT for kids so i would say no.

[CaptainKthulhu]

Depends on your kid. Can he handle mild laguange and jumpscares (to be honest, they're not that bad when compared to other games like IMSCARED)? Also, the "satanism" isn't really that much as some people make out to be.

If you responded yes to all of those questions then you can go ahead and let him play it, maybe warn him about the jumpscares if you want.

There is Stantanism: Upside Down pentagrams And the main antagonist A demon
There Is a Cartoony creepiness: Dead Goofy like character. Can ruin your love for cartoons
Swear warning!
Jumpscare Warning!'
WEIRD FANS warning!

if he can play FNAF 1-5 and get scared to the point where its just a average jumpscare found in games then yes.
If He CAN'T play mini horror games or big base like FNAF or Dead Realm not reccomended
Average Play age: 10-11+

[YeehawLunatic]

There's a lot of satanic/demonic imagery and cult stuff in it, as well as an actual demon that tries to kill you. So i would say no. I wouldnt let my kids play this game.

Ugh, people that draw/write stuff like this ruin fanbases! Does anyone else agree, or am I alone?
