What Kind of Game is GraveRaiders?

GraveRaiders is our flagship title—a dark-fantasy, cooperative roguelite adventure where players team up to explore corrupted ruins, battle monsters, and uncover ancient mysteries.

Key features include:

• Online and Local Co-Op Multiplayer (up to 4 players)
• Procedurally Generated Dungeons & Levels (every run feels new)
• Strategic Combat & Character Progression
• Challenging Boss Battles with teamwork-focused mechanics
• Stylized Dark-Fantasy Themes with mild spooky elements, corruption effects, and fantasy monsters

Unlike competitive PvP games, GraveRaiders emphasizes teamwork, exploration, and replayability.

Is This Game Right for My Child?

GraveRaiders is recommended for players aged 13 and up.

The game includes:

• Fantasy combat against monsters (swords, magic, abilities)
• Mild dark themes (undead, curses, ruins) but no graphic gore or realistic violence
• Online play with other players (team-based co-op)
• Optional in-game purchases (see below)
• In-game chat/emotes with safety filters

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 without parental consent, and our systems comply with laws like COPPA (US), GDPR-K (EU), and PIPEDA (Canada).

Online Play and Communication

Since GraveRaiders is built around co-op multiplayer, players will often interact with others.

Our online systems include:

• Co-Op Matchmaking: Teaming players based on region and skill level
• In-Game Communication: Limited text chat and emotes (with moderation tools and filters)
• Player Interaction: Friend invites are controlled inside the game; no free-form private messaging is allowed outside supported systems
• Safety & Reporting: Any misconduct, harassment, or cheating can be reported and may result in account suspension or permanent bans

We encourage parents to monitor online play and discuss safe online behavior with their children.

In-App Purchases and Monetization

GraveRaiders is sold as a premium game (one-time purchase) with optional cosmetic and expansion content.

Optional purchases may include:

• Character skins and weapon cosmetics
• Seasonal content expansions
• Future story-driven DLC

Important Notes:

• Purchases are not required to complete or enjoy the game
• All purchases use platform systems like Steam, Google Play, or Apple App Store, which offer parental control tools
• No pay-to-win mechanics—progression is based on skill and gameplay

Data Privacy

We comply with all relevant data protection laws.

We collect:

• Anonymous gameplay and crash data
• Device and region info (for matchmaking & performance)
• Account information (username, linked email if applicable)

We never sell or share personal data with third parties for advertising purposes.

Parental Controls and Safety Tips

To ensure your child has a safe and balanced experience, we recommend:
✅ Setting up platform-level parental controls (Steam, Google, Apple, console settings)
✅ Encouraging regular breaks and healthy screen time habits
✅ Talking about online teamwork, cooperation, and respectful communication
✅ Reviewing our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines together

Reporting and Support

If you or your child encounter inappropriate behavior, cheating, or technical issues:

• Use the in-game reporting system
• Contact our team at support@darkloomstudio.com
• Join our official Discord (ages 13+) for moderated community engagement

Our moderation team monitors reports daily and investigates all serious violations.
