Task 1 - The Twist

A major publisher has expressed interest in your game. Their only stipulation is that your game must fit a different PEGI rating.

What do I do?

Move your PEGI age rating up or down one
Add or remove at least one content descriptor

For example:

Your 16+ game with violence, could now be a 12+ game without Violence or an 18+ game with Fear
