the villain preyed on minors in the past, but the victims in question are now adults and the game doesn't condone their sexualization

There is ambiguous wording around the capture of a female characters implying that she's been "eaten up" and "soiled" physically, but potentially sexually as well.

There is deception as one would expect throughout a murder mystery case, but none that would qualify as typical gaslighting phrases.

all of the victims overdose on fictional drugs, although they die from other injuries. the drugs are forced on them rather than taken on purpose. they aren't realistic (they look like red seeds and are eaten)

There are many instances of throat clearing and sniffling. Just a few off the top of my head are:

- At the beginning of the speech at the town hall
- During Fiona's side quest, right before she begins her quiz
- During the profiling at the lumber mill
- One of the lunch scenes at the police station (the one where they're all gloomy)
- When Quint is crying outside a mansion

the most prominent death by suicide occurs, not because they want to die, but to sacrifice themselves for another. the second is up for debate as to whether it's on purpose or an accident, i've seen equally compelling arguments for both

a little bit. a character was abused by their mother, who had a vague unspecified mental illness. a different character implies this to be the cause of the abuse, but it's not clear if we should take him at his word

the villain makes kind of a crack about a transgender woman, but the audience aren't supposed to be on his side. while her portrayal is clumsy, it's never intended to be funny

the nos are likely because the trans character is portrayed in a very muddled way, and it's easy to assume that she is just a crossdresser. but yes, she was intended to be a trans woman, and she is misgendered after she comes out

a trans character is killed. some of the victims canonically slept with other women, but it's unclear if it was because they were actually attracted to women or if it was because they were just in the same sex cult

no idea what the nos are talking about. one of the villains is fat, and that aspect of him is constantly played for laughs (albeit mostly in optional conversations). still, in the final boss fight, he gets much fatter (his stomach develops what i can only describe as boob physics) and it's portrayed as grotesque

Main character's primary weapon is a handgun, with the ability to upgrade to other guns as the game progresses. Major characters load, aim/wave around, and fire guns as plot points.
