A game based on the terrorist attack on Utøya in 2011 has been removed from the gaming platform Roblox, reports the Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang.

The game was removed last week, but it's unclear how long it had been available to play. The premise was that players were chased by a man in a police uniform who shot at them while on a forested island.

The Norwegian equivalent of Bris, Barnevakten, prompted Roblox to take down the game after the alarm was raised. VG writes that it doesn't seem like many people have had time to play it, but it had still been up and available to the public.

Making games based on real events involving terrorism or extreme violence violates Roblox's terms and conditions, a spokesperson for Barnevakten tells VG.
