Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Hands of Hell contains dark fantasy themes set in a stylized version of Hell, including references to death, and psychological tension.

The game features fantasy card-based wagering mechanics involving souls, with no real-world currency or gambling systems. There is no explicit sexual content, and all violence is stylized and non-realistic.
