Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: (not rated) (equivalent perhaps to a TV-14 for Violence, and mild Profanity and Adult Content)
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)
Not particularly "Lovecraftian", though the format of a group of psychic characters investigating "haunting of the week" supernatural mysteries wouldn't be far out of line for a "low-Mythos" Call of Cthulhu campaign.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
