The '''Continuum Content Rating System''' is a custom classification scale created to assess both video games and books for age appropriateness and thematic content. Unlike [https://www.esrb.org/ratings-guide/ ESRB] or [https://pegi.info/ PEGI] (games) or [https://www.filmratings.com/ MPAA] (films), the Continuum system is tailored to highlight nuance between general maturity, explicit adult themes, and pornographic works. | The '''Continuum Content Rating System''' is a custom classification scale created to assess both video games and books for age appropriateness and thematic content.
