My chosen audience

I would like to make a game concept that revolves around history, to be specific the history of Egypt and I would like my audience to preferably be in education as I think it would benefit everyone if you had fun whilst learning and that’s what I intend to do with my game as history is a dying subject in the gaming industry and there are not really any history games besides world war themed games. I will be aiming my game mainly at teenagers in education whether it is at school or college. As for the age rating, I'm  going with 16+ as my game has mild violence and some aspects of horror and these would be unsuitable for an under 16, although saying that kids today never play accordingly to the age rating on games as kids are always playing violent game like call of duty, grand theft auto etc.Other popular games that teens play are like fifa, assassins creed, halo and many more.
