Sex & Nudity
-
- At the beginning of the game Amanda Ripley emerges from hypersleep wearing panties and a shirt. It is brief and in no way sexualized.
- There are some posters in the worldspace that are meant to be public health posters. They contain text that is supposed to make the viewer question how much they know their sex partner. This is clearly a bid to try and get people to use protection to prevent the spread of STDs.
Violence & Gore
-
- Towards the start of the game, a male is impaled and dragged into a vent by the xenomorph. (This is very sudden and the first partial interaction with the alien).
- People can also be killed by the player, although you are not encouraged to do so, only as a last resort.
- When enemy NPCs are shot. Splattters of blood are seen comming out, and can decorate the wall behind the NPCc if standing near a wall
- The only form of actual gore is some of the corpses. One you can find of an employee early in the game has a hole in his face, as well as a slash across his stomach that has a gut or intestine poking out just a bit. Moderately graphic.
- Although violence is part of the game, it is used sparingly and deliberately.
- From a first-person perspective, players explore the station's rooms and corridors and use various means to fend off the Alien. Players can craft gadgets or obtain weapons throughout the game, which can be used to keep the Alien at bay or to deactivate working Joes.
- When Ripley is spotted by the Alien, a short animated cutscene depicts her getting knocked down and killed by the Alien. Sometimes she is stabbed through the chest by the Aliens tail, which causes a disturbing cutscene of her death.
- Corpses of people that was killed by the Alien can be found. They often have a bit of blood on their clothes. Not too graphic
- A man shoots a Working Joe, causing it to react aggressively. It knocks him over and repeatedly smashes his head against a wall, eventually killing him. Blood is visible.
Profanity
-
- The words "fuck" and "shit" appear in the dialogue.
- But only in short bursts and not all the time.
- Most of the time you would be sneaking around the spaceship not saying anything.
- So it is infrequent
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- One of the items the player can craft is the medkit. In order to use it, Ripley injects herself with the crafted syringe and is instantly healed.
- Aside from empty cans of beer and used cigarettes, there are also bottles of "ethanol" that can be picked up throughout the game. These bottles are actually a crafting material for items such as Molotov cocktails. Ripley never drinks from these.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The Xenomorph is an extremely frightening and sinister presence.
- This is commonly referred to as one of the scariest games of all time.
- This game is faithful to its source material, that being the iconic Alien franchise. Much like the films, this game is quick to send a shiver down your spine, especially from your primary enemy, the xenomorph. His incredible AI makes running away a death sentence. Your only hope is to hide. Hope you have some undergarments handy, cause this game will soil your pants faster than any over-the-counter laxative available.
- This game is a horror survival game, much like Amnesia: The Dark Descent. As Amanda, you are actively hunted by the Alien, which will stalk you constantly. You have no means of killing the creature (only making it retreat for a while by using certain weapons) and are, for the most part, defenseless.
- The androids in the game, working Joes, are very disturbing. They have glowing eyes and repeat disturbing lines while they attack/stalk you.
- The Alien is disturbing in appearance, in the way it kills its victims, even in its reproduction method. Whenever the player is in its vicinity, pressure is placed him or her, as the way in which the creature hunts and moves are sometimes unpredictable. It can also cover great distances very quickly, outrunning it not being an option. It is most likely going to make a lot of people jump, especially in the early game, not knowing exactly what to expect from it.
- This is NOT a game for children, or anyone under the age of 16. Younger players will undoubtedly be disturbed by this game and the creature, heck, even some adults would probably find this game scary.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- Axel gets impaled by the Alien's tail and dragged into a vent.
- Some gore not much but a ton of blood and it's quite intense like when the synthetics snap your neck or kill you it's also intense when you get attacked by the alien or get hunted by it
- A man is killed by a Working Joe offscreen - we hear him screaming and yelling, followed by gurgling and choking sounds. Later you find his corpse.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- The ways in which Ripley can die at the hands of the Alien is very disturbing. This includes getting impaled through the chest by its tail, being knocked down and then rushed at to deliver a final blow, being pulled up into a vent, being snatched out of a hiding place and killed, or by being grabbed and seeing the inner jaw come at your face during the last second. This scenes happen quickly, but put you face to face with the xenomorph, making you experience its brutal nature first hand.
