^ slight correction Abe’s parents were staff members on the ARK that unintentionally got pregnant (and also sadly died in the raid) ,but in fairness this detail was added later. Maria’s is still accurate, in fact doubly so after the release of Shadow Generations

Black Doom and Eggman take advantage of Shadow’s memory loss by lying or telling him half-truths in order to manipulate him, confuse him, or emotionally damage him. In some of the endings, Shadow’s conclusion about his identity is completely false because it’s being based on this gaslighting.

Shadow gets downright depressed many times, depending on which path you take. There’s even an ending that implies he takes his own life afterwards, though it’s not canon. It’s the Semi-Hero Hero ending. Shadow talks about wishing he’d never been created and seemingly blames himself for Maria’s death, and after a very unhelpful talk with Vector, Shadow walks offscreen and the end credits play with a song that has lyrics based on these themes.
To a lesser extent, Sonic seems pretty bummed out in the pure dark endings, though to be fair these are endings where Shadow beats him up and then either vows to conquer the planet (pure dark hero ending) or destroy it (pure dark dark ending). So, y’know, Sonic in these endings has reasons to be unhappy. For most of the game Sonic is his usual cheerful self, but as seen by Shadow, so he seems even more upbeat because Shadow sees Sonic as being annoyingly perky.

I’m the final story, Sonic, his friends and Eggman are all paralysed by a poison gas and have small aliens set on them to eat them. They are freed before any lasting harm is done.

Despite the story starting with G.U.N. (This universe's version of the FBI and military) killing an innocent child, they are consistently seen as good guys, including in a stage where the Dark Mission is fighting back against the G.U.N. agents while they're raiding a peaceful scientific research center.

It’s implied in the Semi-Hero hero ending that Shadow dies by suicide afterwards. Nothing is shown but it’s really heavily implied.

Not stated outright, but one of the endings has the main character show remorse at all of the destruction he has caused and implies that he has become suicidal as a result of the events of the game.

Using Chaos Control during a boss fight will invert the screen’s colours. Gunfire flashes a lot more in this state.

Not too serious although granted it has more intense language than normal for a Sonic game such as the words "hell" and "damn"

It has references to Maria, who was terminally ill (but she didn’t die from her illness, she got shot).

Some of the missions ask you to shoot down planes or aerial battleships. In the pure evil route, a giant sky laser is fired that splits an entire battleship in half.

Aliens have green blood but other than that there is no blood. In beta builds of the game the devs were aiming for T rating and the aliens had red blood (which looked more like sparks IMO) however the E10+ rating was introduced during development and the blood color was changed to green.
