Idea Factory, Compile Heart · Published by Idea Factory International · Official site ↗
Content notice: This is a role-playing game in which players join young soldiers battling monsters and trying to save the world. As players explore a futuristic alternate universe, they engage in turn-based combat with beasts called Chimera. Characters use sword-gun weapons to deplete enemies' health meters; combat is highlighted by realistic gunfire, light effects, and cries of pain. One cutscene contains still images of a character repeatedly shooting another with a pistol; a pool of blood is depicted afterwards. The game includes some suggestive imagery: a beach scene in which female characters are provocatively posed in swimsuits that reveal deep cleavage; a hot-spring sequence in which women appear partially topless. The dialogue briefly mentions illicit drugs (e.g., “[I]llegal, sweetly flavored drugs are popular lately...” and “Recently there have been rumors of drug trafficking...”). The words “sh*t” and “a*shole” appear in dialogue.
