Australia's usually really strict when it comes to violence in video games, but the Silent Hill series isn't really known for intense gore. Though, the trailer looked a bit like it was going to be a bit body horror-focused (I got lots of Junji Ito vibes from it), so maybe SH:F will actually be a bit bloodier than other SH games.

So, the land where everything is trying to kill you is very anti violence?

Each country is allowed a certain number of base violence stat points. Australia put all of theirs into nature.

That explains Canada.

They put all of theirs into a random goose.
