Rating Summary
Death Match Love Comedy! is rated T for Teen by the ESRB with Blood, Language, Sexual Themes, Use of Alcohol, and Violence. This is a visual novel in which players follow the story of a student that discovers he's cursed to die if he receives a love confession. As players progress through the narrative, they make various choices that can affect the outcome. Some choices lead to instances of violence, depicted off-screen, with stylized blood-splatter effects on-screen: a character shot multiple times; a character jumping off a building; a character burning to death. The dialogue references sexual/suggestive material (e.g., “[I]t's just gonna be me spreading my legs for whoever da head family picks and pop out kids 'til I die”; “That's sexual harassment, ya naughty sl*t"; "Castrate yourself for all that gross talk about boobs"; “Sixteen-year-olds! Are! Minors! And! Polygamy! Is! Illegal!”). The game contains several alcohol references in the narrative, including mention of teachers, guardians, and priests handling alcohol (e.g., "...the older man had forced Meishin to drink alcohol"; "probably drank herself to sleep as soon as she'd clocked in"; "her drunken ramblings at the end of each month"; "You're drinking way too much!"). The words “sh*t” and “a*shole” appear in the game.
