Content warning

Hi everyone!

I'm currently developing a psychological horror game where the main character struggles with depression and anxiety, and have to escape from an asylum.

The story also includes alcohol and tobacco use, and at certain moments the character may display self-harm behaviors (narrative-driven, not graphic).

Do you think should I include a clear content warning on the game page...?  (There is not explicit graphics in the game, just narrative-driven, and it is not the main theme of the game).

Yes, just to be safe rather than sorry and pre-empt objections

Yea bwoiii do that

Maybe just add a short content warning to be safe. Even if it’s not graphic, a quick heads-up can help players know what to expect.
