Rating issues

This game contains depictions of graphic violence towards human characters. As the player traverses through environments, they will hack and slash at enemies. Large blood sprays appear on impact and enemies break apart into chunks. These images are small and non-detailed, but are frequent. There are scenes of more detailed dismemberment towards fantasy characters. For example, a sharp wheel falls and decapitates a boss character. Blood is seen spraying from the body as this happens, and this stains the ground. If the player is killed at any point in the game, a screen appears which reads “YOU DIED”. The player then wakes up back in the hotel room seemingly unharmed, but the player’s character does remember being killed. Settings in the game can be adjusted to turn blood effects on/off.

This game also contains the use of strong language, including ‘fuck’. Milder bad language is also present, including ‘bitch’, ‘asshole’ and ‘bastard’.

Other issues

The player is able to enter a casino during the game and is given the opportunity to either enhance a weapon or add a weapon modifier. They then select from a series of cards or roll a dice. If they choose the correct one, they are informed that they “won the gamble” and their weapons will be enhanced. If they fail, there are no negative repercussions. No real-world gambling is seen.

During a cinematic scene in the game, a man is seen consuming cocaine.

Some sexual references are made in the game; at one point the player meets a woman that works at the hotel. She informs the player that they provide “various types of bondage” for guests at the hotel. No images accompany this, but she does explain that this allows people to gain happiness and “spiritual enjoyment”. There is also an alien enemy in the game that is seen with what appears to be visible breasts and phallic genitalia.

Horror sequences in the game depict disturbing images throughout. The most pertinent is in the aftermath of a car accident where the corpses of two passengers are seen; one of which has been impaled with a large stick and the other is seen lying on the ground with his head having been removed. Blood is seen over their bodies. Images of blood-covered characters frequently appear during gameplay.
