These dynamic pictorial dramas generate a strong sense of unease in the viewer: the subjects depicted wear masks and costumes, walls and floors split open to
reveal piles of bodies or liquids, while an inexplicable darkness looms everywhere.
Even though Gabe Newell declined to comment what changes were made to the submitted and now approved edited version

reveals that, should this be the version released, players will be deprived
of «depictions
of decapitation, dismemberment, wound detail or
piles of dead
bodies lying about the environment.»
