This game may not be appropriate for all ages. The main character sometimes uses sharp objects to self-harm, takes drugs to enter illusionary realms, and depending on the player’s actions there may be a non-graphic depiction of suicide. There is violence and blood in cut-scenes and gameplay, including the use of sharp objects. There is strong language in dialogue and written text.
