Official Ratings

ESRB

Age Recommendations

ℹ️Ages 3-5

Not suitable — graphic violence, strong language and sexual themes are far beyond this age.

ℹ️Ages 6-8

Not suitable — the murder investigation and gore are too intense for young children.

ℹ️Ages 9-12

Not suitable — mature violence, profanity and sexual content make this inappropriate for pre-teens.

ℹ️Ages 13-15

Not suitable — the gore, sexual themes and constant strong language are aimed at adults.

ℹ️Ages 16-18

Suitable with parental supervision — a well-made choice-driven story, but older teens should be prepared for graphic violence, sexual themes and heavy profanity.
