Verklagsreglur

• Hver tölvuleikur sem Manu Games býður á Íslandi er aldursmetinn áður en hann er boðinn þar, og metinn aftur þegar uppfærsla bætir við efni sem gæti breytt niðurstöðunni.
• Matið byggir á viðmiðum PEGI (Pan European Game Information), alþjóðlega viðurkennds matskerfis sem notað er á Íslandi og víðast hvar í Evrópu.
• Metið er hvort leikurinn sýni eða fjalli um: ofbeldi, ljótt orðbragð, ógnvekjandi efni, nekt og kynlíf, áfengi, tóbak og vímuefni, fjárhættuspil og mismunun. Söguþráður og þemu leiksins eru metin í heild, og það kemur fram ef hægt er að kaupa eitthvað í leiknum.
• Aldursmarkið er það hæsta sem einhver einn flokkur nær samkvæmt viðmiðum PEGI (3, 7, 12, 16 eða 18 ár).
• Matsstjóri fer yfir hvert mat og skráir niðurstöðuna, með dagsetningu, í opinbera skrá hér að neðan. Eldri niðurstöður eru ekki fjarlægðar.
• Aldursmarkið kemur fram í öllum auglýsingum og kynningarefni sem beint er að Íslandi.

How Manu Games age-rates its games

Under Iceland's Act No. 62/2006 on the protection of children from harmful content in films and computer games. Manu Games LLC produces the computer game Tideward, which is offered for sale in Iceland, and is a responsible party under that Act.

Procedural rules

• Every computer game Manu Games offers in Iceland is age-assessed before it is offered there, and assessed again when an update adds content that could change the result.
• The assessment uses the criteria of PEGI (Pan European Game Information), the internationally recognised rating system used in Iceland and most of Europe.
• It looks at whether the game shows or deals with: violence, bad language, fear, nudity and sex, alcohol, tobacco and drugs, gambling, and discrimination. The game's story and themes are judged as a whole, and it says whether anything can be bought in the game.
• The age limit is the highest that any one category reaches under the PEGI criteria (3, 7, 12, 16 or 18).
• The assessment manager reviews each assessment and records the result, with its date, in the public list below. Earlier results are never removed.
• The age limit is stated in all advertising and promotion aimed at Iceland.

Assessment manager: Seth Rininger, Manu Games LLC

Complaints

If you think an age rating is wrong, email legal@manugames.com with the game's name and your reason. The assessment manager replies within 30 days and re-assesses the game where there is cause. You may also contact Fjölmiðlanefnd, the Icelandic Media Commission, which supervises the Act.

The assessment of Tideward

• Violence: frequent, stylised fantasy combat, including against human-like fantasy characters (bandits, pirates, knights) and animals, shown as health bars, hit numbers and illustrated portraits. No blood, gore or realistic violence. Under PEGI, non-realistic violence towards human-like characters is a 12.
• Weapons: fantasy swords, bows and staves. No real-world firearms.
• Bad language: none.
• Fear: none beyond illustrated fantasy creatures. No horror themes or jump scares.
• Nudity and sex: none.
• Alcohol, tobacco and drugs: no use is shown or encouraged. Potions are fantasy items with game effects.
• Gambling: none, real or simulated. Random rewards are earned in play and can never be bought.
• Discrimination: none.
• In-game purchases: yes. A one-time unlock of the full game and optional cosmetic items, each a fixed item at a shown price. Nothing random is sold.
• Players contacting each other: none in the game. Game Center leaderboards on Apple devices show scores only.
