No dogs die on screen, but in an email in episode 2 you read that the mill from episode 1 was actually a puppy mill and a fire burned it all down, dogs included. There is a puppy later, and that dog is fine.

The addiction is to heroine. There is also a lot of stigma towards the person who is addicted, such as notions that she's not a "safe person" to be around, as well as a dangerous/bad mother

There’s a section where you’re instructed to select dialogue options where Chloe demeans a Samoan man for having a cultural flower pattern on his motorcycle and make insults at the perception of this being “feminine.”

infrequent suggestive dialogue and writing, such as: a joke about losing the v-card, visual of & mentions of condoms, writing in a journal about masturbation, and a fairly long/ passionate kiss scene between the main characters. nothing stronger than these mentions.

Chloe's father died in a car accident where he was hit by a truck. Through flashbacks Chloe experiences throughout the game, his death is relived. From intricate detail in the car with the truck, to more abstract where his death is reenacted on a stage with no car or truck, but sound, lights, and blood spatter.
