Guardian Matrix™
UGC Safety Intelligence
What is something evil will happen?
“something evil will happen” is a disaster-survival game where players face randomly generated disasters while competing against each other. The core gameplay loop revolves around surviving these disasters, strategically using acquired gear, and accumulating “Glory” by fighting and surviving. Players earn “Dosh”, the in-game currency, to purchase gear that can be used to sabotage opponents, protect themselves, or assist others. The game emphasizes strategic thinking, quick reflexes, and a bit of luck to overcome the challenges presented by both the disasters and the other players. Playing with friends is highly encouraged.
Safety & Risk Breakdown
The Guardian Matrix Score of 68 reflects moderate concerns regarding potential risks for younger players. The game’s title and description hint at dark themes and potentially frightening scenarios, which might not be suitable for sensitive children. While the game is described as “heavily inspired by classic games in the same genre”, the disaster survival and player-versus-player elements introduce a degree of simulated violence. If chat features are implemented, the risk of exposure to inappropriate language or interactions with strangers exists, even with chat filters in place. Parents should also be mindful of potential screen-time addiction, as the gameplay loop of earning rewards and surviving disasters can be highly engaging. The BETA label indicates that the game is still under development, and game-changing updates could introduce unforeseen risks or alter the game’s content.
In-App Purchases & Monetization
The game uses a “Dosh” system to purchase gear. While the description doesn’t explicitly mention in-app purchases with real money, the ability to earn Dosh and purchase gear suggests the potential for monetization. It’s possible that players can purchase Dosh directly to acquire better gear more quickly, potentially creating a pay-to-win dynamic. Alternatively, the game may offer cosmetic items or premium passes for real money. Parents should be aware of these possibilities and monitor their child’s activity to prevent excessive spending. The focus is on earning currency through gameplay, the monetization is not clear, but parents should be aware and check the game before letting their child play.
