Omega Labyrinth Z (PS4 and PSVita), the lewd dungeon-crawling roguelike from D3 Publisher that is being localized for western markets by PQube, has been refused classification by the VSC (Video Standards Council) in the UK.
This effectively means the game won't be legally sold in the country, either physically or digitally.
The VSC stated:
"The VSC Rating Board believes this content in a game, which would have strong appeal to non-adult players, is an issue which would be unacceptable to the majority of UK consumers and, more importantly, has the potential to be significantly harmful in terms of the social and moral development of younger people in particular."
It follows on from the Australian Ratings Board refusing classification of the game last month, banning it from sale in Australia and New Zealand too.

"The VSC Rating Board believes this content in a game, which would have strong appeal to non-adult players, [...] has the potential to be significantly harmful in terms of the social and moral development of younger people in particular." Yeah, that's why games with way more worrysome content are allowed and rated over this. More than questionable decision here.
Darkest UK timeline.
Ironically, it would've been perfectly acceptable to people who intended to buy and play it. Props to the authorities for telling us what's best for ourselves.
I don't know whether to go "Yipee" that Britain of all places sent Japan a clear "strong and stable" signal, courtesy of the Tory government, or plug my ears and just scream "Nanny State"...
So, I presume that image was carefully selected then? I presume this game as more than we we see.
Hmm.. But i could still buy it digitally from a different PS Store region?
People buy this garbage?
It's their money, they do what they want with it, and I'm pretty sure this game doesn't have anything ilegal in it.
