Age/Content Rating Update for First Base


Hello all, I'd like to thank you very much for the interest and support regarding First Base. Just to get it out of the way, yes, First Base is still in active development. Day 1 will be released soon.

But as the title suggests, after much thought, I have decided it is best to change the official age rating for First Base from 16+ to 17+. While there won't be any explicit sexual content or extreme violence (*Please see detail below) in First Base, the combination of everything else should only be consumed by people 17 or older.  I have also updated the page to reflect this and better communicate the potentially sensitive themes under "WARNINGS" (As much of the story has since been modified)

To go into detail about the content warnings:

1. "Suggestive themes" indicates mildly provocative references. Neither Dakota nor MC mentions sex. It's pretty much capped at heavy kissing/making out. 
2. "Blood" is... blood. There is shown blood. There will be no shown corpses. No shown gore.
3. "Murder, Kidnapping, and various other crimes" is in reference to described / slightly depicted murder and a few endings where someone gets kidnapped.
4. "Social deviance" is included in the warnings to further emphasize that Dakota is not normal or a good person. Obviously, with First Base being a Yandere romance VN, it is implied that he deviates from the norm, but it is in there regardless, just as a further warning.
5. "Flashing images" is an epilepsy warning because many images are zoomed in/out rapidly or flash quickly. Some of it is avoidable, but most of it is not.

Thank you for your understanding. Please do not play First Base if you are younger than 17.
