Is this too bloody or violent/suggestive for an upcoming game?

Hi, I’m IAmNotNiftyChibi, and I’m currently creating a murder mystery game with actual mystery elements. One of those elements includes blood. The blood is a part of the gameplay and is used as a clue to find who the murderer is. For instance, a weapon may contain DNA. The DNA can lead to the murderer. So, the murderer will want to hide the real murder weapon and put a fake weapon instead. When putting a fake weapon, they will have to put ketchup on the weapon to make it look like blood. This will trick the investigator into thinking the fake weapon was actually used for the murder.
Because blood is a major part of the game, I can’t delete it.

Additionally, one of the many possible murders includes putting someone in a bag and dropping them off an interior balcony. Would this be too suggestive and uncomfortable for young children? If so, then that really minimizes the creativity of possible killings in the game.

With all this in considerations, is there a way to minimize the chances of being moderated by Roblox?

Basically a forensics investigation? That may have some educational potential. As long as the blood is minimal and not too graphic, you should be fine.

Also, I think murder by dropping someone off the balcony may be in the gray area. I think you’ll be fine if it isn’t that dramatic or gory (like a smushed head). This exists, though in a comedic fashion.
