Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

As a horror game, Worse Than Death features depictions of violence such as: low-res pixel-art gore within the environment, dead bodies (both low- and high-resolution), blood-splattered walls, dripping blood, and sounds indicating violence (squishy pulpy sounds, screams, etc.). In one scene, the player finds another character hanging by her neck from a rope, swaying back and forth. The player never sees a violent act being committed (e.g. you never see someone dying, just the aftermath).

Though the game got an ESRB descriptor of "sexual themes," these are limited to: allusions to an affair between two characters; one character's confession of possible love for another. No sexual acts are actually depicted. (We've checked "Sexual content" here to be honest with the process; we're not sure if what we've described would qualify.)
