Rating Summary
This is a role-playing game in which players assume the roles of high-school students investigating a string of deaths in a country town. During the day, players interact with classmates, teachers, and town characters, gaining social links to improve relationships and abilities. At night, players explore another world and engage in battles against humans and fantastical enemies (e.g., shadows, demons, spirits) in turn-based combat. Players select weapon and magic attacks from summoned persona creatures to kill enemies; battles are accompanied by impact sounds, gunfire, and cries of pain. Cutscenes also contain instances of violence: a body hanging from a telephone pole; a body hanging from a tower; characters fist fighting. During one scene, a character is depicted with a nosebleed; one area also contains red stains on the walls/floor. The game contains some sexual material: demons with exposed breasts and/or buttocks; a creature with a phallic-shaped head and torso; a female enemy depicted as a gyrating pole dancer. Some demons (e.g., succubus, incubus) have sexual characteristics that are described in the text (e.g., “They visit sleeping men/women and have sexual intercourse with them.”). Although no alcohol is consumed, one scene depicts characters exhibiting common signs of intoxication (e.g., slurred speech, erratic gestures, flushed faces) during a drinking game. The words “sh*t” and “a*shole” appear in the game.
