Sex & Nudity

  • A wife of an estranged man, is shown to be a writer of erotic novels. Some extracts from her novels are heard, which explicitly involve extramarital affair. It is inferred that she is writing these as a personal fantasy during a domestic dispute with her husband.

Violence & Gore

  • The primary gameplay consists of averting peoples deaths, by possessing their corpse, and rewinding time by 4 minutes. The player is tasked with using their ghost powers to altar the person's fate, so that they survive. The player altars the fates of many murder victims and must watch these deaths unfold prior to averting them. The direct act itself is never shown (the exact moment of a person's shooting/crushing, ect, typically involves the screen fading to white), however the player is often scenes such as the victim dying, or their lifeless body falling to to the ground.
  • Players will be required to commit several violent acts themselves. For example, averting a woman's murder may require having to "take out" the murderer. The player's actions are never directly stated to cause anyone's death, however it is inferred that they sometimes on several occasions. The player occasionally commits animal cruelty against rodents such as mice.

Profanity

  • "Damn" and "hell" are said several times.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • One fate that must be averted is an assassin breaking into a house of his target while a little girl and her dog are home alone, resulting in the assassin shooting the dog and tying up the girl. It is possible for the player to stumble onto a fail scenario in which the girl explicitly witnesses the assassin killing her dog, and one in which the assassin feels the need to shoot the girl.
  • Due to the nature of the game, death and murder is often treated with flippancy, or a cheerful attitude. Some characters get murdered multiple times, and black humor is pulled from the characters' increasing nonchalant or downright cheerful attitude to their constant "habit" of getting murdered or killed in freak accidents.
  • Several major characters are an estranged couple, and their young daughter who in the middle of their ongoing domestic argument. The daughter is subjected to emotional abuse by the mother (e.g. refusing to let her phone her father). On one occasion, the mother explicitly swings a wine bottle at the daughter.
