This game contains a depiction of dismemberment towards a human character. During a cut scene, a man swings a sword, decapitating another character. Blood detail is seen as the camera zooms in on their chest, and the head is seen falling off. The man’s body then drops to its knees, and his head is seen on the ground next to his body. During combat, violence is realistic to both human and fantasy characters. When hit, characters flinch backwards and yell in pain. At times, blood is seen spraying from impact. Number damage is also seen when characters are hit, and a health bar reduces. Upon death, characters drop to the ground before their body disappears in a flurry of petals.
This game also contains the use of strong language including ‘fuck’. Milder bad language is also present, including ‘bastard’, ‘bloody’ and ‘shit’.
Other issues
The game contains some sexual innuendo. The player finds themself in front of a brothel and is able to hear a man and woman both moaning. The player does not actually see these people having sex, but it is very obvious that this is taking place behind closed doors. The player can also build romantic relationships with different characters in their party, where flirty dialogue is heard between characters. The screen cuts to black, and the text at the bottom of the screen alludes to the characters having sex. However, it’s not overtly descriptive, and no images are seen here.
This game contains several references to alcohol. Characters are often seen drinking wine, but the player can never actively engage with these substances.
The game’s environments are often littered with corpses. Blood details are present on their bodies and on the ground. At times, the corpses are seen impaled, indicating how they died. The designs of some of the fantasy characters may be scary to younger players.
The game references gambling at times. For example, a character asks the protagonist if they want to play “a game of cards.” No card game ends up taking place. Instead, the two characters engage in friendly combat. In another scene, a building resembling a casino is seen. The doors are boarded up, and the player is unable to enter.
There are some references to characters taking their own life. In one scene, a gun appears in the hand of the protagonist, which they point towards their own head. However, the man is talked out of going ahead with this. During another scene, a woman confides in her party about a time that she attempted to take her own life and lost a child as a result of this. Some players may find this content distressing.
