Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: PG (mild Violence)
Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)
Underground civilizations hidden from the upper world are common enough in "Lovecraftian" fiction, and the troglogyte creatures in this one could be compared to Deros, Ghouls, Serpent Men, Worms of the Earth, Faeries, etc.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
