Although technically they are not spiders, it's still pretty bad if you have arachnophobia.

If you define torture as simply severe pain and suffering, yes, people severely suffer and endure horrific pain. If you define torture as the systemic and deliberate infliction of severe pain and suffering in order to induce a desired response from the victim, no, nobody is tortured, however, for those that have survived RAMCOA, there are themes akin to mass suicide in the Theta facility. This is not skippable and is a major plot point.

A main enemy is a faceless being that looks vaguely like a human. On there is covered in alien tentacles and eyes(?).

A character who is unable to fully move her body asks you very soberly to turn off her life support. You have the option to do this or not, but she is very verbally desperate for death.

During the Theta level, Simon meets a character who killed herself prior to the events of the game. The blood from her suicide can be seen during this level.

Several attempted and successful suicides are a major plot point within the story that CANNOT be avoided by choosing not to pick up optional audio logs

Added context to other comment, “Indians” is generally not the accepted term for Native Americans anymore, though some people still use it to describe themselves, it can be inaccurate and inappropriate as the term came from colonisers mistaking Native Americans for Indians/South Asians

You make the choice to kill or leave a woman in the facility who mentions she can’t die and is suffering and another that can only scream until you are forced to unplug someone, killing them.
SPOLIERS the entire premise of the game is you trying to figure out if a digital upload of a person is still that person, especially in a robot body
