Story

In the year 27XX, the newly elected PRESIDENT CAPTAIN EVIL has declared all NEWS to be illegal. The ensuing massacre leaves millions of Americans dead—killed for possessing, producing, reading, or taking any part in the NEWS. In this dark time for the country, a few surviving journalists seek to undermine the president's tyrannical rule. Faye Freelance, rebel reporter, arrives in AMERICA, having successfully avoided death at the hands of all the president's men. Magic pen in hand, she's ready to face the president and take him down.

Beskrivning av vuxet innehåll

Utvecklarna beskriver innehållet så här:

There is an incident of mass death that is referenced; the aftermath is shown, but there is no depiction of gore or excess. This incident is referred to throughout the game.

There is also a depiction of a decapitated robot body early on.

There are several depictions of guns and gun use throughout the game. Their usage does not include explicit imagery or gore.

There is usage of poorly-made Nazi imagery--to clarify, it is not presented in a positive light, and the game takes a stern, firmly anti-Nazi stance.
