    Eh, if it was a management-style game, that might be interesting. I really liked “Game Dev Studio”, and honestly, the only difference here is subject matter. As long as there’s no actual porn, throw a PEGI 12 or 16 on it, depending on how far you take it.

    For Balatro, PEGI 12 seems more than appropriate.

      Thinking about this hypothetically is making me laugh.

      Imagine setting things like how often your employees are checked for STIs, and the cost for that, etc., lol

        It would also be interesting to manage a brothel. Same basic mechanics, but you could choose the type of business (escort vs full service), gender of workers and target clientele, types of advertising, etc. If you take it too far, you could get shut down/caught by the authorities (depending on whether you go legit or underground).

        I’d probably play both those games, especially if the developer doesn’t take it that seriously. Both seem like a ton of fun, and can be done without anything explicit in it.

        Maybe those games exist, idk, I haven’t considered looking.
