An optional censorship toggle that is only present in the PlayStation versions censors the game even further by skipping the face peeling and womb cutting scenes entirely as well as removing all reference to suicide and miscarriage.Disclaimer text is updated to be more sensitive and detailed, with the inclusion of warnings of references to miscarriage.Mentions of masturbation in dialogue during the Church chapter are removed entirely.Certain scenes that were originally interactive (like the infamous face peeling scene and a later scene where the player cuts open Martha's womb) no longer are, with options added to skip the scenes entirely should players not wish to see them.Bowdlerise: The PlayStation versions of the game are altered in a variety of ways compared to other platforms:.Some honorable mentions include skinning off Martha's face in a dream, cutting a deformed fetus out of Martha's dead body, and carrying around Giula's mother's severed head and putting it with the rest of her dismembered limbs. Body Horror: Jesus, plenty enough that the content of the game warrants a warning before starting it.Sparrows were once omens of death and they were the ones who carried the souls of the dead, fitting for a game that is based around death. Nanny called her "little sparrow", she tests out her camera by photographing a sparrow, and there's a visual metaphor of a raven beating up and then killing a small sparrow. …And That Little Girl Was Me: Giula talks about how a woman in the mental institution spent all her time masturbating until her hands were bloodied and had to be restrained, which when released she just did it all over again.Depending on the dialogue choices either everything happened as depicted or almost nothing did. Ambiguous Situation: How much actually happened is left up to the player to decide at the end.Abusive Parents: Giulia’s mother is horrifically abusive who always saw Martha as the golden child.Her twin sister Giulia tries to find the answers behind her death but the hunt for the truth is shrouded by mysterious folklore and the extreme horror of war that draws ever closer.
