ESRB Rating
I was interestedin this game after watching GTlive play the demo, but there does not appear to be an ESRB rating.

Can you please tell me if this game has swearing, nudity, pro-same sex marriage views, intense gore (not that I expect there to be intense gore mind you).

Thank you in advance!

A fair point, but again that was only the demo not the full release but I appreciate the responses from both of you!

The game is free of gore and profanity ^_^

ESRB wise we would land in the Teen section (maybe one day we'll try and get rated, but that costs a bit X_X).
A developer of this app has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

Just wondering: since when are "pro-same sex marriage views" put on the same level in game ratings as gore and nudity? I don't see it in the ESRB list of content descriptors.

Looking at that (without a thorough knowledge about their usage practices) I'd say there's Drug Reference (some bios mention those) and probably Alcohol Reference (can't recall exactly), definitely Use of Tobacco.

I'm not sure if deciding over someone's life and death in a buraeucratic manner constitutes Violence ("aggressive behavior against an individual, community, or themselves"); probably not (although violence is referenced a lot by The Mortimer, but on a bit milder level than in The Pirates of the Caribbean), just like any sane human would say it contains Mature Humor but ESRB most likely wouldn't (for that kind of humans that sits on rating boards, maturity means sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll, not ethics). Also, ESRB probably won't consider the game Informational or Edutainment, although it clearly is.

Just ignore the op, they are trying to make this political

I will only play games that take a stand against same-sex marital rights and denounce gays as products of the devil.

Pretty sure they were being sarcastic about that last one. Just gonna casually mark this topic as answered and lock it just in case :)
