Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The Monastery includes physical violence due to its battle scenes, but these are not shown in a realistic way. A showcase of weapons can also be expected. Among the enemies, there will be various creatures with grotesque appearances, like zombies. Spiders also appear in the game, which should be taken into consideration by those with arachnophobia. The Monastery does not include nudity or sexual violence of any kind. Alcohol, drugs, and other sorts of narcotics do not appear in the game. It does not contain harsh language either.
