Age rating

Item 2.7 of the Game requirements

The age tag corresponds to the content.

Choose one of the five age categories that your game is targeted at:

Age category	Description
0+	Suitable for all age groups. Erotica Any graphic nudity is prohibited, including short or tight-fitting clothing and accentuated cleavage. Exceptions: Babies, toddlers, dolls in a "natural" setting (in a diaper, nude without emphasis on intimate areas). Cartoon or simplified female or male characters as they are (natural, without deliberate sexualization), such as athletes. Examples → Violence Not allowed: Depiction of harm to characters and living beings. Images or sounds that may frighten young children (explosions, jump scares, etc.). Alcohol and tobacco Completely prohibited. Profanity Coarse language is prohibited.
6+	A game with a 0+ rating that contains frightening scenes or sounds. Erotica Provided that the game content is neutral in nature: a realistic or simplified, comic, or cartoon depiction of a nude human or anthropomorphic body without sexual connotations and without emphasis on gender. Allowed: Clothing that exposes parts of the body (shoulders, arms, knees, abdomen, male chest) without close-ups or emphasis on intimate areas. Realistic statues and bas-reliefs with an exposed torso (without genitals or female nipples). Examples → Violence Allowed: Violence in a comic context (like "Well, Just You Wait!", "Tom and Jerry") without causing harm to cartoon characters. The player should not associate the characters with real personalities; the characters must be completely fictional. Images where violence is implied but not shown as a result (opponents disappear without visible harm: sparks, bubbles, blinking, etc.). Unrealistic graphics and content. Depiction of accidents, explosions, etc. without visualization or description of death. Examples → Alcohol and tobacco Completely prohibited. Profanity Coarse language is prohibited.
12+	Erotica Provided that the game content is neutral in nature: a simplified or realistic depiction of a human or anthropomorphic body with mild sexuality and a conditional emphasis on gender, without excessive erotization. Slight cleavage, bare shoulders, exposed midriff, short shorts, and skirts without an accentuating presentation and without focus on intimate areas are allowed, provided the game contains no sexual context. Examples → Violence Mandatory visual and mechanical limitations when depicting violence: Characters are completely fictional. Violence against unrealistically drawn humans, animals, and fantasy creatures is allowed. Graphics are unrealistic (e.g., stylized, cartoonish, ragdoll physics on schematic characters like stickmen). The harm-dealing mechanics do not appear plausible. There is no visualization of blood, realistic wounds, cuts, victim suffering, internal organs, or dying processes. Blood only in a conditional form (brief flashes, colored splashes not resembling blood, recolored effects). Puddles of blood, traces on bodies, surfaces, or clothing are prohibited. Death is shown as disappearance, dissolution, or shutdown without visible traces. Weapons are fantasy or simplified firearms or melee weapons with no direct real-world equivalents or are heavily stylized. Description or visualization of diseases, accidents, incidents, and non-violent death are non-naturalistic. More realistic depictions of violence are allowed if at least one of the following conditions is met: Condemnation of aggression: the game's scenario clearly frames violence as a negative phenomenon. Villains receive their just deserts, or the game's plot shows that using force against people is wrong and has negative consequences. The player must not be rewarded for unprovoked aggression. Protection and law enforcement: violence is used exclusively for self-defense, protecting others, restoring justice, or neutralizing villains (e.g., the actions of a superhero, police officer, or a character repelling an attack). Examples → Alcohol and tobacco Allowed: Depiction, description, and portrayal of smoking, vaping, and alcohol consumption if it is justified by the game's setting and there is no promotion or positive portrayal of these activities. Alcohol and tobacco must not be a central element of gameplay. Objects with an ambiguous interpretation, provided the context does not directly indicate that it is alcohol. Examples → Profanity All profanity must be softened. Swear words related to sex are not allowed.
16+	Erotica Provided that the game content is neutral in nature: a realistic depiction of a human or anthropomorphic body with more explicit sexuality and a conditional emphasis on gender, but without vulgar erotization. Allowed: Deep cleavage, tight-fitting clothing, minis, cutouts, revealing swimwear (e.g., bikinis with minimal coverage). Focus on chest and buttocks. Mildly eroticized poses and angles (arched back, emphasis on hip and waist lines). Examples → Violence Allowed: Realistic graphics and violence mechanics. Red blood: splashes, moderate traces on clothing and surfaces. Visible wounds without display of internal organs. Depiction of death and bodies lying on the ground as a fact, without shocking details. Realistic scenes of violent actions without marked cruelty toward humans, animals, or fantasy creatures, which may be similar to those possible in real life. Examples → Alcohol and tobacco Mentioning and depicting alcohol and tobacco as an object or attribute is allowed — for example, a bottle of liquor, a pack of cigarettes, an unlit cigarette, a glass of wine on a table. Examples → Profanity Crude humor and swear words are allowed.
18+	Erotica Sexualized realistic nudity: a realistic depiction of a human or anthropomorphic body with an active sexual connotation and marked emphasis on gender with maximally explicit erotization. Allowed: Very deep cleavage, tight-fitting clothing with exposed areas, deep cutouts, excessively exposed "private" areas of the body, underwear, thongs, stockings, garter belts. Emphasis on intimate areas, hypertrophied forms. Overtly sexual poses and angles that emphasize attractiveness. Attributes: bedroom, shower, club lighting, neon, stockings, garter belts, underwear, etc. Erotic animations and jiggling. Ambiguous facial expressions of characters. Examples → Violence Naturalistic and shocking violence: scenes of gross violence are present or there are certain specific types of violence (dismemberment, exposed organs, compound fractures with bones breaking through skin, amputations, decapitations, etc.). Allowed: Realistic and maximally naturalistic graphics. Plausible violence mechanics and visualization of death. Abundant red blood: puddles, splashes on the camera or walls, traces, "meaty" fragments, display of internal organs. Depiction of death and bodies lying on the ground with shocking detail. Warning Depicting such violence against animals, children, or elderly people is prohibited. Examples → Alcohol and tobacco Allowed: Promotion of alcohol consumption, tobacco smoking, and vaping. Description and depiction of the process of smoking, vaping, and drinking alcohol with popularization. Positive portrayal of these activities and calls to imitation — for example, a smoking person, a drinking group, simulators of these activities, positive statements about smoking or alcohol (e.g., "with alcohol you'll get stronger," "a cigarette makes you more grown-up," "real men smoke," etc.). Alcohol or tobacco as a central element of gameplay. Examples → Profanity Crude humor and swear words are allowed. Other Allowed: Casino, poker, and other gambling games. References to prostitution, vagrancy, begging. Esotericism.
