Realistic violence towards animals features frequently in this game. Players are able to attack wolves with traps, explosives, firearms and axes. During close combat with wolves, axe blows are accompanied by bright flashes, but the wolves will also flinch with each hit and blood will splatter. Once the wolves are defeated, they fall to the floor, where their bodies remain. Gun shots will fling the animals far across the floor, with the same blood effect. The player’s character, once defeated after several blows, will fall to his knees and then to his side, rolling on his back with his arms outstretched.

Players are able to purchase alcoholic beverages – including ‘eau de vie’, ‘rye whiskey’ and ‘spruce beer’ – from a still menu. When used in combat, these beverages can give the player considerable advantage, allowing their character to sprint faster, refill their health or kill their enemies quicker with heavier, more powerful blows.
