characters are often grabbed by the neck by aliens, and shows signs of choking. there are several scenes where characters are underwater, and can not breathe. characters are generally out of breaths after fights, but this is particularly present in act 3 part 2, because the person playing the main character had a panic attack and is dealing with the aftermath.

the person playing the main character had a panic attack off-camera (not an anxiety attack, but. y’know.), and a few times during act 3 it is apparent he is dealing with the aftermath of said panic attack. however, it is never explicitly said.
