In chapter 4, the heroes are going on their adventure thinking the protagonist's mother is in danger and needs to be rescued, only to reveal at the end that she was at home the whole time partying and having forgot about them.

A main character who was bullied pretty actively by another main character gets thrown into a situation, in which these two become friends. It's implied the bully had a bad home life and was just playing the role they thought they had to play, and it sounds like there was no actual fighting involved, people just assumed they were evil because they look scary. There is physical violence shown between the two, however.

The alternate route in chapter 2 involves you manipulating a girl into committing genocide, one of the victims of which being a close friend of hers, and gaslighting her as she suppresses all her killings, stuggles to remember what happens during battles and whether or not the events in the dark world were a dream, resulting in a breakdown at the end of the chapter when confronted with the fact that everything was real. It’s very disturbing on a level arguably more than the genocide route in Undertale. The requirements in order to trigger this route are super specific though, there’s no way in hell you’ll trigger this accidentally, or even intentionally without help from a guide, so you can very easily avoid this route if it disturbs you.

A hidden route has you essentially gaslight and manipulate a character into 'becoming stronger' and killing for you. It is played purely for horror, as the character in question reacts realistically to your emotional abuse and coercion. It's implied that, by the end of Ch. 2, the character is traumatized enough to see violence as a default option. That said, this route is extremely easy to avoid, and extremely easy to get out of if you're on it.

The MC has a sword which can be used to attack others, and later brings out a knife they have. It's played for laughs next chapter, after it's revealed they just ate some pie, but they later sneak out and (presumably) slash their mom's tires. No actual stabbing is shown.
As of chapters 3 and 4, the player can choose to stab enemies in a game-inside-a-game. This cannot be done accidentally, and it's somewhat abstracted. You can also insert a thorn into someone's finger, but again, this must be pursued intentionally.

Edit: In chapter 1, there's eye imagery everywhere at the start. Some of these drawings have black goo coming from them, but it's all art.
A character, when manipulated and forced to cast a spell, 's eyes lose their pupils. It's virtually impossible to do this accidentally, though. There's also a character whose eyes are never shown until the end of Chapter 1, in which they glint red. It's probably just their natural eye color though, and it's all very cartoonish.

Not ...exactly, but the player character can become stressed and hyperventilate in chapter 3 if the player takes a specific route and performs a specific action involving attempted violence towards the player character. Additionally, in chapter 4's "evil route", the player character will hyperventilate if you choose a certain choice later on. Both of these scenes must be pursued rather than happened upon.

there's a few little scenes where it happens;
the more major one surrounds a certain character in a very specific route. if you do this route, you can freeze the character and in the real world they will become unconscious (or possibly dead, we aren't sure). you can't really do it accidentally though!
there are also a few other small ones. in chapter 1, there's an unconscious enemy that later wakes up after being beaten by another character. in chapter 2 a character gets turned to stone, whether that counts or not is up to you - they turn out fine as well!
i think that's all!!

On the hidden alternate route, you can equip a ring made of thorns to a young girl. The ring's description states that the "wearer takes damage from pain", and said character's hit points will then drain rapidly in battle.
Attempting to equip it to any of the other characters has them outright refer to it as a torture device and refuse.

Agreed with above. Said character is a bird, and as such has no nipples. It's presumed he wants them because he sees them as manly.
As of chapter 4— there was a scene in an alternate "evil" route that used imagery of flower petals falling, leading some to believe the subject was being "deflowered". This scene's imagery was almost immediately changed to something else, clearly showing that it was not the intended interpretation.

If you recruit enough people then not really (as of chapter 4).
You can only directly kill enemies by getting Noelle to freeze them in chapter 2 (defeating them any other way causes them to run).
In chapter 3 a character technically dies no matter what, but if you recruit enough people then they will tell you how to fix him.
In chapter 4 a character appears to die if you fail to recruit enough people, but his fate is technically unknown.

The sole human character, who is adopted by a monster family and lives in a town inhabited by monsters, is implied to have body dysmorphia over their lack of monster traits.

So it's neither explicit nor stated, but as someone who deals with both derealization and depersonalization I'd like to say I relate to Kris and their conflict so unreasonably much. Personally I find the game is incredibly touching and sincere in its handling of these themes even if it's never made direct and I feel like they hang over much of what the game is really trying to get at, but in terms of acknowledging they're there it's difficult to avoid the allegorical angle once you notice it.

It's unspecified what kind of illness they have, and it doesn't feel super stigmatized, but it could be triggering for someone. The two characters it applies to seem prone to derealization, and they're depicted somewhat sympathetically.

No, but there are some upsetting implications from certain lines: After an arcade machine sequence choosing the option "perish" in the choice prompt makes Kris apparently say it very enthusiastically. There's also a line during a battle with an enemy who wants Kris to give up their SOUL that seems to imply the only reason they gave that they wouldn't agree is out of fear of where that would leave their friends afterwards. Very sad headspace for our main character overall.

No, but there is a boss fight where a character is held by puppet strings, he cuts the last puppet string, and the way he falls and has no life in his eyes can be visually similar to that of someone dying, which could potentially trigger someone in the moment. However it's shown he is alive and this fight is entirely optional.

Additionally, during his initial battle, Spamton explicitly states he doesn't care about money, and later on, he's clearly supposed to be a sympathetic character. At least, as long as you're not doing the Snowgrave route.

Kris canonically uses they/them pronouns; in-game, everyone uses the right pronouns at all times and Kris' gender is never commented on. However, much like Undertale, this is a point of contention in fandom spaces, so be cautious.

I'd avoid putting stock in the other comment; the presumed "younger one" has no canonical age. For that matter, neither does the other one, but they have the life experience of at least over 40, with two kids and a divorce. The younger one's age is assumed based off of fanon, and people are really attached to their headcanons about this character.

The final boss of Chapter 4 kinda resembles a demon in appearance and personality, it has horns and is said to have no conscious and only exist to destroy. It serves the common role of demons in fiction as a thoughtless agent of destruction but it's never called a "demon" and doesn't have anything to do with anything similar to hell

A large amount of Chapter 4 is spent in a Dark World inside a church, which is filled with (fictional) religious imagery. In the same chapter, you are required to go to the church and can optionally watch a ceremony.
Additionally, the game's story revolves around a prophecy that is explored in detail in Chapter 4.

A large aspect of one of the bosses is that they were evicted and forced to live in garbage, and a main character, though perhaps to a less confirmed extent, seems to have questionable stability in their home life.

In chapter 3, the player is required to shoot a gun. The bullets aren't actual bullets and it's more of a whack-a-mole situation than actual violence. Later, the roles will be reversed, and the player must dodge various targets whilst being shot at.
The game is a "bullet hell" game. The bullets are not actual bullets, but obstacles that must be avoided to avoid damage.

The smoke is entirely cartoonist and opaque. I believe there might be smoke effects in some low-light areas in chapter 4, but I may be mistaken. Some characters modeled after incense burners emit smoke, but it's not exactly covering anything.
