Parents guide

There are strip clubs which depict semi-nude female androids. Nothing bad is ever seen.

There is a crime scene that describes a specific sex act between human and androids.

Shirtless males in underwear are also shown.

In one scene, a man is briefly seen smoking a (fictional) drug from a pipe. But the sounds he makes as he smokes could be mistaken for an orgasm to someone that doesn't see him smoking.

In Zaltko's basement, a topless female android can be seen in the back of a cell, but it is mostly obscured by the darkness and easy to miss on a regular playthrough, No detail is shown on the android at all.

a man says that a pervert may have gotten too much action

Markus forcefully kisses North so the police don't suspect them, she is then very angry he did and he says sorry.

There's a whole chapter in a nightclub where half-naked females and males show up and can't be skipped.

In a few chapters (<5) after the strip club chapter, there is a flashback which features the half-naked females for around 10 seconds and cannot be skipped.

When an android gets shot, blue oil spills

There are interactive slow motion action sequences which includes bloody shootings and stabbings as well as some brutal hand to hand combat.

A child has an abusive relationship with her father. One of the most intense moments in the game occurs when she is repeatedly beaten by her father (offscreen). Even though there are no injuries depicted, it is still very shocking and disturbing. As this is happening, the player can choose to intervene.

From a third-person perspective, players explore environments, examine crime scenes, and perform tasks while navigating conversations and events with other characters. Some sequences depict characters punching, kicking, stabbing, or shooting one another (occasionally seen in slow-motion); characters (including police officers) may also be executed in a handful of scenes. One dramatic sequence involves a man striking a child across the face; players later hear an audio of a man whipping the child with a belt (the whipping is not visually depicted). Homicide scenes sometimes depict human corpses with bloodstained wounds and/or clothing.

The violence in this game is intermitent, but it can be brutal when it occurs. This is also made all the more intense since this game possesses truly outstanding and absolutely wonderful photorealistic graphics with insanely high amounts of detail and extremely vivid visual spectacle, which despite making this game shine on its own, they also enhance the game's somber, dramatic and foreboding nature, as well as its bleak tone.

The violence in the game mostly depends on the player's actions, as every every single mission allows you to choose what to do or say in each situation. (i.e. , you can choose whether to be peaceful or violent. But the peaceful route is encouraged).

A man threatens a main character and puts his hand around her throat.

A man is seen stabbed to death brutally and then you have to touch and look at his rotting carcass.

North is really violent so if Markus is peaceful she gets and mad and vice versa with Josh.

Kara can rob a store using a gun, but the cashier pulls out his own gun.

The words "f*ck" and "sh*t" appear in the dialogue frequently.

During the course of the game, there are several references to a drug called "Red Ice," a fictional version of methamphetamines; one character can be seen smoking the drug from pipe.

Todd gets very mad at one point and starts using red ice (the games drug) by breathing it in.

There is a drug mainley used in this game called red ice and it can be snorted inhailed or injected all ways are not graphic. the game also revolves around this drug by a lot of mad people using it

Kara can rob a man's clothes but if she fails he will wake up, very intense.

Because of the highly immersive nature of the game, violence that would be considered mild in other video games is much more intense and disturbing as it takes place in a much more interactive context. While there is no gore and only some blood throughout, there are scenes depicting abuse and other acts of violence so the game takes on a much more serious tone. 16+ should be fine.
