Rating issues

This game features the ability to view five horror feature films in full. These films include scenes of graphic violence, including sight of decapitation and dismemberment, and violence against vulnerable and defenceless people, including restrained people’s throats being cut. There are also scenes of sexual threat, including a man undressing a sleeping woman and climbing on top of her.

The game itself features scenes of graphic violence towards fantasy characters, including sight of aliens being stabbed and shot, the latter of which may result in decapitation. There is also a sequence in which an alien is encountered that has been bisected but which is still alive, with visible entrails coming from its torso.

There is additional gory detail when human corpses are seen, both in the game and in the feature films. Because of the first-person nature of the game, violence against the player’s human character is only implied.

Both the game itself and the feature films include use of strong language (‘fuck’, ‘cocksucking’), as well as milder terms. The feature films also include some use of discriminatory terms (‘faggot’, ‘homo’).

Other issues

The game also includes sight of drug misuse, such as a powder being snorted, and both the game and the films include visual and verbal sex references.

The feature films include scenes of sexual activity, sometimes with breast and buttock nudity, as well as other sexualised nudity.

One of the feature films features a scene of suicide, while others feature visual and verbal references to suicide.
