While largely free of manipulative design, the game's setting in 1939 Germany and themes inspired by dark historical events, combined with 'intimidating mechanical monsters' and 'unforgiving gauntlet sections', may present some mild fear and violence content. The narrative, told through clues, requires careful interpretation.
