Should I categorize my (old) game as "Adult"?

Hi all!

Lets get the link out of the way first:

http://textadventures.co.uk/games/view/1rurghluluqrwdmjh53ltq/reors-bush-cave-explicit

This is the first game I ever wrote. (It's a few months old.)

It's a parser, written with Inform 7.

It's very profane. In fact, the parser understands profanity, and there is a Swear Jar, which collects points every time a 'bad word' is entered.

It doesn't have any love scenes or anything, but there is alcohol and it's set in Denver, so that comes into play if you find the correct location.

You can order your penguin sidekick to attack or kiss some of the other animals, but that's it. (Well, you can tell the dragon to hook up with a big lizard, too. Neither of the scenes are described though. It's all just jokes.)

Anyway, I wonder if I should list it under 'Adult' (which is what I listed it under, due to the profanity), or if I should just provide a warning on the main page. (It has a BIG warning on the first screen of the game, which ends play if you don't agree that you're 18.)

Another reason I wonder: It was posted on here for a long time, then I took it down the other day. (I replaced it with a one-room game, planning to put a new game in its place.) I put it back up two days ago, but it's still uncategorized, pending moderator approval.

I fear it may be too profane. . .

Anyone want to check it out?

I'd be happy to get some feedback.

Thanks!

PS
It has a built-in hint system, too.


I plopped it in Adult, but didn't get much of a chance to test it. I'll give it a proper look at in the morning but, as of now, it seems appropriately placed and rather funny. :)


@XanMag

Thanks much! (Especially for the kind words!)

Let me know what you think whenever you get the time to test it out. Even if it's negative. (Especially if it's negative. I'm in this for the learning experience as much as I'm in it for the fun.)


I wasn't trying to rush it through, by the way. I've been going back and forth on the game's content, but decided I'd just leave it available. (I've played games with content that was MUCH more adult than this, but the parser understanding profanity, the object found in Interlude, the things you can get Ralph to do, the interaction with the jug, the Swear Jar, and what the Swear Jar actually does at the end of the game made me wonder if maybe I'd crossed a line.)
