"Hybrids", those who have had gene therapy to alter their appearance, are legally required to be sterilized if their body is changed past a certain level, and are given the option to preserve their sperm or ova prior to the gene therapy. This is only mentioned in passing, and nothing is shown or discussed at full length.

Late game, there is optional dialogue where a character mentions being involved in domestic violence in the past, though it's only vaguely alluded to and never shown on screen.

However, there is still alcohol in the game and a major plot area includes being in a bar.

There are several mentions of an in-universe party drug called CRASH, though it's never described in too much detail.

A robot character has something described as being "like a seizure", however it isn't like how a human being would have one, just the closest way it can be described.

Not in the game's reality, but there is a video game where you fight cartoon ghosts. It's offhandedly implied to be haunted, but it's probably just glitching out given the context of the rest of the game being highly sci-fi and not supernatural.

There are several moments with heavy speaking audio distortion though, both because of a bad connection over the phone, and because of a damaged voice box in a robot. The moments involving the latter can get very loud and overwhelming at times, for effect.

There is a scene where a character wakes up in the hospital, though they aren't grievously injured. You also travel to a MILDLY shady place where special cybernetics and brain implants are installed, though you only see the lobby and never any of the operating rooms.
There are several parts where characters describe getting medical procedures for the sake of changing their appearance or something else about themselves, though this is treated as a regular thing that people do all the time.

There are several moments in the game where the screen violently shakes for a few seconds for emphasis of a shocking development. This can be turned off in the game's settings.

In multiple instances. They're EXTREMELY brief, though, only lasting about one or two seconds.

No, but the robot character, Turing, has a moment where they wonder why it's common for people to refer to them as "he" ("perhaps it's because I'm blue?"). They, ultimately, don't care what pronouns are used to refer to them, though.

There is a group that actively campaigns against the existence of "hybrids", people that have their genes edited to take on a vastly different appearance, usually for animal-like characteristics like a rabbit or a lion. While this is fictional, the language used by the group against hybrids is extremely reminiscent of transphobic hate groups, and it's clearly an allegory.

In the epilogue, there is a new character you can talk to with several NSFW branching lines of dialogue, as well as an option to "bring him home with you", to put it lightly. These are all optional. There is also a few offhanded sex jokes in the main story.

In the comics, there's multiple scenes involving sex jokes, as well as an extended scene where the main character travels to a swingers club. That same character who appears in the epilogue of the main game makes an appearance, and also has several offhand lines about his sex life.

The tone of it is generally accepting and open and helps to normalize discussions of LGBT+ sex in media without being fetishizing or mocking, but it's still very explicit and it can still make people uncomfortable if they don't want to hear about sex.

It's done VERY suddenly to shock the player. (Mild spoilers if anyone wants to know when it happens: when a certain character begins to shout about how they're going to "get the hell out of the city" and starts to walk across the street, that's when it happens.)

There's a few moments where blood is shown, though it's all in a pixellated art style. There are also moments where robots are damaged and you can see their inner parts, including very humanoid robots, though no HUMAN gore is shown. In the comics, while it's not shown, there is extended discussion about an organ harvesting ring, though the procedures aren't described in detail.
