Rating issues

This game contains infrequent depictions of violence towards vulnerable and defenceless human-like characters. One example of this involves a 16-year-old boy who has been forcefully handcuffed to a metal pole and unable to escape. During the scene the boy confronts his captor which leads to him being violently kicked in the face as punishment. Another example can be found in this episode, in which a child is shot in the shoulder. The boy lets out a pained cry as a large amount of blood appears around the wound. This episode also contains glamorisation of the use of illegal drugs. As part of the storyline the teenage protagonist and his younger brother work on an illegal marijuana plantation. They also meet up with a group of young adults who have worked on the plantation for numerous seasons and praise it as a reliable option for earning money. There is a minigame where the player must prepare the marijuana in a timely manner to sell it on. This game also contains frequent use of sexual expletives, the word “fuck” and its derivatives can be found throughout.

Other issues

This episode also contains a sex scene showing a 16-year-old boy losing his virginity. The characters genitals and other sensitive body parts are obscured from view.
