Pan European Game Information (PEGI)
PEGI 3 – comical violence, characters not associated with real life, no sounds/pictures that could frighten, no bad language, no nudity, or refernce to sexual activity
PEGI 7 – Normally rated 3 but contains some mild terror, partical nudity but not in a sexual context
PEGI 12 – Slightly more graphic violence towards fantasy/human-looking/recognisable animal characters, more graphic nudity, bad language is mild and falls short of sexual expletives
PEGI 16 – applied once the depiction of violence/sexual activity looks the same as expected in real life, more extreme bad language, concept use of tobacco/drugs, depiction of criminal activites
PEGI 18 – gross violence and/or specific types of violence that could make the viewer feel revulsion


Based on my research into the certification classifications for PEGI, my game is strongly placed under the PEGI 18 certificate as it contains extreme graphic violence, sexual insinuation and taboo language. However, if I was to class it under their context warnings, I could apply the follow:
* Violence
* Bad Language
* Fear
* Drugs
* Online
