Listed Themes
The official list flags mature themes and depictions including:
- Alcohol and tobacco use
- Death and bereavement
- Suicide
- Mental distress
- Firearms and gun violence
The 1936 arc centers on eleven deaths at a country manor; the curse erases collective memory of victims — a horror mechanic rather than graphic gore. So Many Games notes death scenes are understated (characters disappear off-screen) rather than highly visual.
