‘Reasonable adults’ may be offended
The Australian Classification Board has refused to give a rating toMeiQ: Labyrinth of Death.
According to theAustralian Classification Board(viaKotaku), the game has been refused classification because it depicts “matters of sex, drug misuse or addiction, crime, cruelty, violence or revolting or abhorrent phenomena in such a way that they offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable adults to the extent that they should not be classified”.
It’s also thought the game will “likely to cause offence to a reasonable adult” given there’s “a person who is, or appears to be, a child under 18 (whether the person is engaged in sexual activity or not).”
In the States, however, the game received a ‘Teen’ rating, and in Japan, it’s available for people aged 12+.
This isn’t the first time Australia has failed to award a classification.Hotline Miami 2was also refused last year, and substantial cuts were made toSaints Row 4.
