We wish to make you aware of a game currently available that is causing some concern amongst professionals nationwide.

The game is free to download onto any android or Apple device and is called 'Cunch-Line Chronicles'. The games focus is on running your own County Lines 'Cunch' Operation and has been rated Pegi-18.

The full description of the game states: A light-hearted, satirical take on the darker side of urban UK culture. This is not your usual casual game! Cunch-Line Chronicles is an endless 2D runner game that moves away from the common fantasised, softcore concept and leads more towards the gritty reality of life while keeping a comedic factor.

Due to the concerning nature of the game, and many reviews from young people stating the game had provided them with "valuable information on how to run their own Cunch Line", the National County Lines Co-ordination Centre are investigating if any action can be taken to remove the game from app stores.
