Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

As NightWire Studios, we have designed Dead On Arrival to be a crime scene investigation game that focuses on gathering evidence and solving crimes. Despite the theme of violent crimes, we have made a deliberate decision not to include explicit violence or gory scenes within the game's visuals. Instead, we want to emphasize the strategic and analytical aspects of crime scene investigation, encouraging players to use their critical thinking skills to solve complex cases.
