References to medicine in game?

[hio555]

My team and I are designing a game loosely set in a hospital with medically accurate scenarios. In one sequence, the player plays as a Doctor and has to save patients based on their condition. For example, if a patient has low blood pressure, the game will prompt the player to retrieve Norepi (Norepinephrine).

From what I could find on other threads people have advised against using names like “Tylenol” and instead replacing items like that with potions. Other threads imply that any mention of any drug of any kind is against TOS, while only specifically mentioning illicit drugs like marijuana. Would mentioning real medication for use in a realistic medical scenario be against the TOS?

Couple of things I found

Is medicine allowed?

From what I’ve seen, most games that have medicine in them have it as a potion or they put it in an entirely different container. I recall playing a game that actually had buffs in it, which were these small cans with fluid in them. And if you used them your character would physically inject them into their arm, though there was no needle or syringe. They’re just those cylinder-shaped containers or cans and all your character does is touch their own arm with it and it plays a “tssss!” sound o…

Are medications against the ToS?

Mm, I don’t think this is allowed. I remember I came across a post asking why they got banned for uploading a survival kit, and turns out they got banned because of the “healing medication” included in the kit. Guess Roblox is more strict on the depiction of drugs.

Are medication references prohibited on roblox?

i was thinking of making a game, with specific references to different in-real-life medication. It is supposed to be a fun, but also an informative game about the pharmaceutical and biomedical area. I’d like to know if something like this is prohibited on roblox, or if it should only be a 17+ game. Again, its for learning purpose. I’d understand if heavy medication such as narcotics are prohibited, so I wouldn’t bother asking about it. Thanks for the feedback

probably the most important one out of these

Roblox 17+ Policy Standards

I haven’t read thru them so you might have to… sorry lol
