Notes: The aim of the game is entertainment. As it belongs to the horror genre, there are of course frightening and grotesque characters. However, the game endeavours to avoid gory scenes and the depiction of gratuitous violence. The game is a psychological horror, i.e. it exerts pressure on players through mental and emotional tension rather than visible physical horrors.
