  • DSA:What Ludograph checks: whether the game's design gives minors the transparency the EU Digital Services Act expects: plain terms, honest defaults, and clear reporting routes.: Estimated from review data. No dark pattern or child-targeting concerns found.
  • GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.: Estimated from review data. No privacy or child-targeting concerns found.
  • ODDS:What Ludograph checks: whether paid random-reward drop rates are disclosed, as required in China, Japan and South Korea.: Estimated from review data. No paid random-reward mechanics found, so drop-rate disclosure requirements do not apply.

These reflect Ludograph's assessment of the game's design practices against each framework's criteria, not a legal compliance determination.

Parents ask…

Is The Dame safe for kids?

Ludograph gives The Dame a rating of 20/100, recommended for ages 13 and up. Significant risks make this hard to recommend for younger players.

What age is The Dame appropriate for?

Ludograph's rubric recommends a minimum age of 13+ for The Dame, based on benefits, risks, and content review.

How long should kids play The Dame?

Our session recommendation for The Dame is up to 120 minutes per day. It is derived from the game's own structure (natural stopping points, compulsion-loop design, monetization pressure, and social dynamics), not from a universal screen-time dose.

Session recommendations are design-based heuristics. Evidence linking specific daily durations to child outcomes is limited, and context matters as much as time; treat this as a starting point for household rules, not a clinical threshold.

What are the main risks of The Dame?

The game's primary risk lies in its psychological horror content, which features intense fear and unpredictable appearances, potentially causing distress for sensitive players. While it avoids manipulative monetization or social mechanics, the horror elements are central to the experience.
