大人向けコンテンツの説明

開発者はコンテンツを次のように説明しています：

Haven & Hearth holds itself to a generally high level of decorum, and does not strive to shock or titillate its audience, however;
- Player characters in the game can be dressed down to their birthday suits.
- Some drugs are depicted in game.
- Natural animal reproduction is, comically, represented.
- Player characters can die.

Haven & Hearth also, however, being fundamentally an online game played with other people, and allowing for conflict between players and their factions, has the following characteristics;
- Interactions with other people in game are not pre-moderated. Mean words can be spoken, and evil deeds undertaken.
- Player-versus-Player combat is free, mostly open, and cannot be opted-out of.
- Free building and landscaping by players allows for artistic expressions in many of its potential forms. Beauty, truly, lies in the eye of the beholder.
