The game features intense violence with gore, strong language, and a pervasive sense of fear and horror, making it unsuitable for younger players. The lack of clear stopping points and penalties for breaks could lead to extended play sessions. The 'Be the Zombie' mode may also expose players to competitive toxicity.
