Venus Vacation Prism: Dead or Alive Xtreme has been rated M18 in Singapore by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) due to its mature themes and sexual references. This spin-off from the popular Dead or Alive fighting game series is a dating simulation that centers on interactions with six female characters participating in the Venus Festival on the fictional Venus Islands.
In this game, players assume the role of the festival manager, navigating various activities to build relationships with the characters. The gameplay primarily focuses on dialogue interactions, selecting responses, and taking photographs of the characters during dates. These photographs are stored in an in-game album, earning fans, which act as points to unlock additional content, such as outfits, hairstyles, and enhanced camera features. Players can also engage in mini-games requiring timed-button inputs for successful completion.
The female characters in Venus Vacation Prism are portrayed as voluptuous young women, often dressed in revealing attire such as bikinis and lingerie that emphasize their physical features. Their animated movements include visible breast physics, and a key gameplay mechanic involves a free-camera mode, allowing players to adjust angles and focus on specific body parts. While the characters occasionally assume provocative positions, these are presented in non-sexual contexts, and the game does not include explicit nudity. Additionally, suggestive innuendos in the dialogue add to the game’s mature tone.
Under the M18 classification guidelines, the IMDA permits “still or moving images that may be sexually titillating but do not contain nudity,” and Venus Vacation Prism fits within these parameters. The emphasis on suggestive yet non-explicit content aligns with the standards for games suitable for players aged 18 and above.
Venus Vacation Prism: Dead or Alive Xtreme is slated to launch on March 6, 2025, for PC, PS4, and PS5.
