StrongThe official account identifies uses of f**k, sh*t, b**ch and d*ck, particularly during danger. No reliable word count, exact timing or complete profanity list is established here.
Alcohol, drugs & smoking
ModerateCannabis smoking is reported during the spacecraft's departure, with a positive reaction from peers. This confirms drug-use content but does not establish whether other alcohol, smoking or drug scenes occur.
Frightening & intense themes
StrongBody horror is a central concern: invasive creatures enter or attach to people, and infected hosts die painfully. Stalking aboard a confined spaceship and damaged bodies add to the threat. This source-based guide cannot provide exact skip points.
Content notes describe the material, not a universal age recommendation. Different releases, editions and installments can contain different material.
