In one mission the player can psychically compel a guard to take his own life, and suicide recurs as a theme.
Strong profanity appears in tense and emotional dialogue.
Realistic hand-to-hand fights, gunfire, and military combat against human enemies, with blood but no dismemberment; Aiden can supernaturally strangle or throw people.

Jodie drinks alcohol, and a homeless-arc chapter shows people drinking and using drugs while living rough.
Heavy material runs throughout: childhood experimentation on a psychic girl, homelessness, grief, isolation, and death.
Ghostly entities, a menacing spirit world, and jump-scare moments create dread, especially in a haunted-house and an 'Infraworld' sequence.
The protagonist goes on the run and carries out covert operations such as breaking into an embassy and evading law enforcement.
A dinner-party séance is staged in which the spirit entity contacts and speaks through the living.
A bar sequence depicts men attempting to assault the protagonist before the spirit violently intervenes.
A consensual romantic encounter with a partner is implied and fades to black, alongside a flirtatious date scene.
Beyond: Two Souls is a story-driven, cinematic action-adventure that follows Jodie Holmes across fifteen years of her life while she is bound to Aiden, an invisible spirit the player can also control to move through walls, possess or strangle people, shield her, or contact the dead. Gameplay is mostly guided exploration, dialogue choices, and quick reaction prompts during chases and fights, with player decisions altering how scenes and the ending play out. The game contains realistic violence and gunfire with blood, strong language, drinking and drug references, a partial-nudity shower scene, an implied intimate encounter, and mature subject matter including experimentation on a child, homelessness, an attempted assault, and a scene where the player can cause a character's suicide, all wrapped in frequent paranormal and ghost content.
The game frames its supernatural abilities and violence through an emotional, character-first lens, presenting Jodie as a person shaped by trauma and dependence rather than a power fantasy; heavy scenes are treated seriously, and many outcomes—including whether Jodie takes brutal revenge or walks away, or whether a guard lives or dies—are left to the player's choices rather than endorsed by the narrative.
