Rating issues
This game contains strong, gory images. Bloodied corpses are often seen at crime scenes. One corpse in particular died as a result of their head being crushed; blood and brain matter are visible here. In ‘DETECTIVE – Stella Porta’, two children are murder victims; the bodies of the children are seen in the crime scene, but sheets cover the bodies. No blood or gore detail is present for these particular corpses. One of the corpses in the game is seen in a bathroom with a sheet covering their body. The sheet has blood stains on it, which are also visible up the wall. It is revealed that the person who died in this room committed suicide due to post-traumatic stress. The actual act of a person taking their own life is never seen.
This game contains the use of strong language, including ‘fuck’.
Other issues
Bottles of alcohol and cigarettes in ashtrays are often seen in crime scene environments. The player is not able to interact with these (apart from putting down a marker as evidence). Some characters are referenced as having alcohol problems.
In one of the rooms, lines of cocaine are seen on a countertop with a bank card next to them. The player is not able to interact with this, nor does the player see anyone use this substance.
References are made (via text) to self-harm, but no visual depictions of this are ever seen.
In one of the games, a character is mentioned to be racist and discriminatory. A confederate flag is pictured on the character’s bedroom wall. The player is able to access this character’s computer, where they see a forum which has some text which is discriminatory.
