Sex & Nudity
There is no sexual content or nudity in the game. Any romantic themes are strictly platonic or involve very mild, humorous flirting between non-human characters.

The dialogue occasionally uses mild terms like "h*ll" and "d*mn", generally appearing as isolated exclamations to express frustration or emphasis.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
There are very minor, infrequent references to items that resemble alcoholic beverages, such as 'nice cream' or fantasy drinks, but no depiction of real-world drug or alcohol abuse.
