synopsis

This game contains infrequent depictions of violence towards vulnerable human-like characters. The most notable example of violence is seen during a cutscene in which a human baby is shot and killed. In the scene, a man holding a baby in his arms is shot. When he turns around and falls to the floor, it is revealed that the baby has also been killed. The baby’s dead body then falls onto the floor as a pool of blood builds up around it. In a later scene the baby’s dead body can be seen with an open bullet wound visible on its torso. It is also possible to attack and kill non-adversaries that pose no threat. The game also contains frequent use of strong language ('fuck').
