Valiant Hearts: Coming Home

Valiant Hearts: Coming Home is rated T for Teen by the ESRB with Alcohol Reference, Blood, Use of Tobacco, and Violence. This is a narrative adventure game in which players follow four characters through WWI. From a side-scrolling perspective, players follow each character's story while engaging in various activities (e.g., finding pieces for a plane engine, leading a battalion across a battlefield). Some activities can result in soldiers being shot by snipers off-screen and/or killed by mortar attacks. These sequences are accompanied by realistic gunfire, large explosions, and cries of pain. Battlefields sometimes depict dead and wounded soldiers lying in pools of blood. One dramatic cutscene depicts a war veteran murdered (off-camera). During some sequences, players must clean and bandage bloody wounds to heal soldiers. The game depicts characters smoking cigarettes and requires players to find bottles of whiskey and schnaps; the text also references alcohol and tobacco (e.g., “A ceramic bottle of schnaps"; “The only product to escape rationing was tobacco.”).
