Fatal Twelve

Fatal Twelve is rated T for Teen by the ESRB with Blood, Language, Suggestive Themes, Use of Alcohol, and Violence. This is a visual novel in which players follow the story of a deceased high-school student as she competes against eleven others for a chance to undo her death. As players progress through the fantasy narrative, they make dialogue and action choices that influence the course of the game. Some choices can lead to instances of violence: a man bleeding after being shot; a high-school student burned to death in a fire; a woman strangled, with descriptive detail (e.g., “...crushes her throat before breaking her neck"; "...sound of her bones breaking..."). The game contains a prolonged sequence related to suicide and self-harm; a still image depicts a character with traces of blood on her wrist, accompanied by text (e.g., “In her right hand is a blade dripping in fresh, red blood…Slitting one's wrist is no short cut to death's embrace…"). The dialogue contains some suggestive/sexual material, with allusions to abuse (e.g., "The abuse she received not long after hitting puberty resulted in a particular drastic consequence. Her body became unable to sustain a child.”). The word “sh*t” and “a*shole” appear in the game.
