American PG-13ish Rating:
We went for PG by American standards. So no sex, and only implied violence. A warning there is a sound of a gun shot.
About the game:
The entire game is contained within three Twine: the main menu, StoryInit, and the entire rest of the game. Aside from the CSS Style Sheet and the Java, the whole game is essentially a single document screenplay that's been gamified. It uses a system similar to Inkle to form knots and diverts, while triggering events and state tracking.

This is cool but stuff is covering up the dice so i can't play
The dice container will stay Red until you click the flashing button on the right that reads “use dice on…” Once the container turns black, then you can click on the dice.
Also, on smaller screens, you need to find a sweet spot for clicking on the dice, which can take a few clicks to find.
Hope that helps 😄
