Meanwhile, in contemporary mores....
"J.B. Harold: Murder Club, sometimes as released as simply Murder Club or Final Murder Club, is a menu-driven adventure game from the creator of Hotel Dusk and Trace Memory, Rika Suzuki....A horrible murder has taken place in the sleepy little town of Liberty. Bill Robbins, a wealthy man known for his wild womanizing ways is the victim and, list of possible suspects keeps growing. As J.B. Harold you must figure out the who, what, where and why of the case." [Giantbomb]
"In North America, the game generated some controversy for its reference to a fictional, unsolved rape. As [critic] Donn Nausert stated, 'I don't think this is a subject that the American public is comfortable with in a video game, even though it's not dealt with graphically...' In their review of the game, Dragon also criticized it for not including a warning on the box about the mature subject matter in this game' in reference to the unsolved rape case." [ibid; emphasis mine]
Soooo, critics were upset that a game named MURDER CLUB did not include a warning that it might contain mature subject matter?
