Consumer advice

This game has been rated PEGI 18 which restricts availability to ADULTS ONLY. This rating has been given due to strong, graphic violence and scenes of strong language. Not suitable for persons below 18 years of age.

Brief outline

A first-person horror adventure game set in an alternative 1897. Nikola Tesla has become a world-renowned philanthropist and has built the giant research vessel, the Helios. Something has gone horribly wrong on the ship and it is up to Rose Archer to find her sister Ada and escape the horrors of the Helios.

Content-specific issues

Violent scenes consist of grotesquely mutilated and dismembered corpses with graphically detailed viscera shown, these litter the ship throughout the game, sometimes arranged in artful displays designed to cause obstruction to the player. There are also scenes of characters being attacked by a crazed knifeman who stabs them to death in a vicious frenzy, and interdimensional monsters that appear and rip people apart. The player has no way to fight these characters off and must survive by outrunning them or avoiding them. The player is impaled through the hand, with a large knife complete with blood effects and an open wound once the weapon is removed. There are also scenes of two characters being killed by electrocution while one is physically restraining the other. Moderate swearing to strong language occurs frequently and includes the words ‘bitch’, ‘pissed’, ‘shit’, ‘fuck’ and its derivatives.
