Everyone seems to forgive Noam for gaslighting them, even Pax who admits to them having done so during their relationship. Depending on the ending you get, Pax can also rekindle her relationship with Noam, despite all the mental abuse

The ghosts possess people and makes them lose their mind, sometimes resorting to violence if they're "too far gone" as the game puts it
A character implied to have PTSD have violent outbursts and is scared of hurting people. Another character mentions his family member having the same thing and being a mortal threat to those around her. Very insensitive all around

The game tries to show a genuine multicultural and diverse cast, but falls into certain stereotypes anyways at times. By no means the worst I have ever seen on this point, but something to keep in mind
The voice actors seem to be cast based on lived experience which is good at least. Sadly, their lines are sometimes very clearly written by someone who hasn't
Chapter 9 introduces a character named Nainai, who do seem to embody various negative stereotypes of elderly Asian women, however

Particularly tasteless and upsetting is that one of your super abilities in the game is to trigger people, which can be used on your allies and is treated as a GOOD thing somehow

Pax compares the 1984-style police state in the game to that of n*zi germany at one point, and Noam calls a bouncer at a club for a n*zi, though obviously meant in a negative context in both cases

One of the main characters, Noam, power is literally to gaslight people. Not treated seriously at all by the narrative, which is very uncomfortable
More disturbingly, in chapter 8 Noam admits to having gaslit Pax while they were in a relationship on the regular, trying to justify it as them "looking out for her". This appears to be treated as a good reason by the narrative
