Photosensitive Seizure warning
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while playing video games.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any symptoms.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms. Children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
You may reduce risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures by taking the following precautions:
- Play in a well-lit room.
- Do not play if you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing video games.
While tools & resources deemed our game safe, we’d like to apologize for any potential discomfort or issues that may arise due to certain patterns of light or flashing lights in our game. If you are prone to any symptoms, please make sure to follow the precautions listed above and to take frequent breaks during your play sessions.
