This is an action game in which players help a college student named Rick Taylor rescue his kidnapped girlfriend from a deranged doctor. As players explore a haunted mansion, they engage in constant melee-style combat; players use cleavers, chainsaws, machetes, and Rick's bare hands to kill and dismember enemies (e.g., zombies, monsters, demons). Players can also use severed arms and limbs as weapons to attack enemy creatures; injured enemies emit large sprays of blood that stain the ground, surrounding walls, and Rick's body. Finishing moves represent the most intense instances of violence: Rick tears monsters' limbs and heads from their bodies—accompanied by a gushing sound effect; Rick sometimes reaches into creatures' torsos to remove various organs. Along the way, players can pick up photo fragments that depict topless images of a female character. Completed photos, viewable from the menu screen, are accompanied by suggestive voice-over clips (e.g., "Just for you, Rick-o. I'm yours and no-one else's" and "R Rating? When we get home, let's you and I put on our own private NC-17 show."). Dialogue also contains sexual innuendo (e.g., "Tell me; how many guys can you beat off at the same time?") and language such as "a*shole," "sh*t," and "f**k."
