    @Coco What's wrong with your country bruh :lmaooo:

    Outlast II fell afoul of classification guidelines due to a r--- sequence during a cut-scene in the game, viewed in first-person.

    The event occurs amongst a group of grey-skinned humanoid creatures involved in “what appears to be a ritualistic orgy.”

    As the lead character Blake yells at the creatures to get away from his wife, who is shackled to a platform above, “a female creature, her greyish breasts bared, pushes him onto his back, holds his arms to the ground and repeatedly thrusts her crotch against him. As Blake protests, saying “No! Stop that!” the creature thrusts again, before placing its face over his midsection and then sitting up and wiping its mouth. Although much of the contact between the creature and Blake is obscured, by it taking place below screen, the sexualised surroundings and aggressive behaviour of the creature suggest that it is an assault which is sexual in nature. The Board is of the opinion that this, combined with Blake’s objections and distress, constitutes a depiction of implied sexual violence.”

    The Board notes that such depictions of implied sexual violence “cannot be accommodated within the R18+ category” so the game must be refused classification.

    Despite explaining earlier in the report the example detailed does “not represent and exhaustive list of the content that caused the computer game to be refused classified [sic]” an additional point remarked that the “Board is of the opinion that without the depiction of implied sexual violence listed above, the game can be accommodated within the R18+ classification.”

    The R18+ rating in the Australian Guidelines for the Classification of Computer Games imposes virtually no restrictions on themes and language, and it also permits high level violence, drug use, simulated sex and nudity. The full guidelines are available to read here. However, no Australian game rating allows for visually depicted sexual violence, or for the association of incentives or rewards for controlled drug use.

    In 2013 Saints Row IV and State of Decay were refused classification for featuring proscribed drug use related to incentives and rewards and South Park: The Stick of Truth was refused classification for featuring visually depicted, interactive sexual violence. All three games were edited and were subsequently released in Australia. In 2015 Hotline Miami 2 was refused classification in Australia due to an implicit r--- scene that the Classification Board determined could not be accommodated within the R18+ rating. Devolver Digital opted not to officially release the game in the country.
