This is an adventure game in which players follow a collection of short stories about a cursed family. From a first-person perspective, players experience various story sequences, including animals/monsters hunting for prey; a fairy tale-like daydream; a comic-book sequence involving an evil villain. Animals sometimes attack prey or humans, resulting in blood splashes. The fairy-tale sequence depicts players' character approaching and placing their head onto a guillotine—a slicing sound is heard as the screen fades to black. Another scene depicts a young character shooting a deer. During the course of the game, players can see pipes/drug paraphernalia, as well as a poster with an image of a marijuana leaf. Players' character briefly raises a middle finger in front of the camera.
