This is an action game in which players assume the role of Jodie Holmes and her
invisible companion "Aiden" through fifteen years of Jodie's
life. From a third-person perspective, players control Jodie through fully interactive
environments, choosing a variety of action-, dialogue-, and decision-paths based on
on-screen prompts. Some choices can lead to depictions of violence: Jodie attacking
assailants with punches, kicks, and various objects (e.g., tree branches and knives;
impaling an enemy with a pipe). As the character Aiden, players solve puzzles,
manipulate objects and attack (e.g., strangulation) Jodie's assailants. Players
can also use Aiden to possess enemies and perform violent acts (e.g., shooting fellow
SWAT members; crashing vehicles; performing self-inflicted gunshot wounds). Some of
these sequences are accompanied by blood-splatter effects. In one cutscene, a bound
character's eye is cut out during an interrogation—the act is obscured by a
character's back. One prolonged bar sequence depicts three men attempting to
rape a woman; players control Aiden and interact with objects to stop the assailants.
Another sequence depicts a character propositioning a woman to perform fellatio. The
game includes depictions of the central character drinking beer and smoking a marijuana
in a party setting – screen distortion occurs during theses sequences. The words “f**k”
and “sh*t” can be heard in the dialogue.
