Right, that falls afoul of the trope slashing rule on How to Write an Example — 10th bullet. From the description alone, ... um, I don't know which one applies. (How do you know the developer has since updated the game and agree it's now no longer appropriate for younger audiences?)

The linked page shows the T rating and the claim that the game is designed for younger players side by side, so I think it's What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? (the creators say their game is for younger audiences, even though it has blood and suggestive themes).

@Tabs Would Uncertain Audience fit better?

EDIT: @Someoneman Okay yeah, that makes more sense.

^^^ The slashing rule is as follows:

  • Do Not Add Multiple Tropes With A Slash/Adding Multiple Tropes With A Slash Is Bad: See what we did there? Don't do that either. It's lazy, causes duplicate examples to pop up when other tropers notice that a given trope is missing from its proper alphabetical position, not realizing it's slashed with another trope, creates confusion when there are multiple examples (which examples apply to which trope?), and overall just looks bad. If two or more tropes apply to a contextual description, put each trope separately in its correct place.
