Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Players use weapons such as pistols, rifles, and crafted explosives as well as melee attacks with chokeholds, bats, and metal pipes to defend themselves from the infected and other human survivors. Players can also engage in stealth combat sequences involving a close-up camera view. Weapon and explosive attacks can result in decapitation and/or dismemberment. Scenes depict intense acts of violence, including themes of suicide and torture. Cutscenes depict further instances of violence, such as a human captive bound and hung from a noose before being disemboweled and a scene where a young woman is restrained while an enemy smashes her arm with a hammer. The game contains some sexual content: a couple disrobing and briefly engaging in a sexual act; the couple is heard grunting/moaning as the screen turns black (depicted from the waist up with female toplessness). Some of the infected characters designs are depicted with exposed breasts and genitalia. A scene is shown where two characters are seen smoking a marijuana joint in a room full of marijuana plants.
