    TEQUILA WORKS

Rating issues

Game features frequent scenes of violence towards both fantasy characters and human characters. Violence towards human characters is mostly non-realistic with red appearing around the screen and health bar depleting. The girl also yells with the hits. When she dies, the whole screen goes pink and she either freezes or falls to a sitting position and the game restarts. There are a couple of scenes of minor realistic violence towards one of the girls. She is kidnapped by a giant monster and she is also seen dangling from a balcony, tied up in film strip.

Violence against the monsters can be realistic although the majority is non-realistic. One particular scene shows a monster being electrocuted and you see the bolts of electricity pass through its body, after which an explosion occurs and the force throws the monster over the balcony and lands on the ground. You also use a beam of torchlight against giant eyeballs which burst and disintegrate with the attack.

The whole game has a scary and tense atmosphere as you sneak around a dark school building with just a torch for protection and get chased and attacked by monsters. One scene shows a room full of TV’s with static on the screens and a monster running towards the front of the screen, it then bursts out of all the screens and the room goes dark.

Game also contains the use of the word “goddamn”

Other issues

There is a general theme of bullying in the game as the younger cousin experienced it at school and as you go through the game, you find journal entries describing some of it, for example other children telling her to get lost which made her cry.
