It’s not portrayed as unhealthy, but a lot of characters have regular drinks, find ways to swindle their way into free drinks and also associate most good memories with alcohol. This is not necessarily a bad thing but can be upsetting to some people.

Both parents die, and a sibling who is a mentor and pseudo guardian die. One parent’s death is revealed to the protagonist late, and they did not have a healthy relationship to the parent, so it is not very emotional. The other parents death is a much more emotional flashback scene in a hospital.

Completely avoidable and not visible, in Chapter 4 you can view a Polaroid in the bar. The whole memory is a character trying to convince another character to get sick after getting too drunk. Toward the end you can hear vomiting. You can mute the game from when you view the memory to until you can control your character once again if needed.

Yes. The town sheriff makes a joke about unfairly arresting the protagonist of color, and it’s portrayed as just awkward and harmless instead of extremely distasteful.

A father is mentioned to be ill in a “different” way to physical, a euphemism for mental illness/neruodivergence.
Alex and her brother both come from a bad childhood and are implied to have trauma from their parents and due to loss.
Alex’s main power is to have literal empathy, to be able to feel exactly others emotions to the point it takes over her and she has violent or emotional episodes. She has social anxiety because of this, fearing being around people will cause another outburst she can’t control. She later loses a loved one and displays signs of grief. She was taken into custody as a child and went through the foster system, which is another potentially traumatic experience.
Gabe is mentioned to have gone to juvy/juvenile detention possibly due to an anger outburst or doing something illegal to cope with loss and trauma.
Charlotte shows signs of suicidality and hatred/jealousy of her child after losing someone close to her.

The main character is arguably very impacted by the emotions of others and suffers from mental health difficulties, despite the superpowers, and often has extreme reactions based off the emotions she absorbs from others.

None of it is showed onscreen, but Alex does talk about knowing a kid who committed suicide depending on your choices. In her journal is also an entry talking about (probably) that same kid. None of it is explained in detail from what I know though.

The depiction of the troll mask (greens skin, pointed ears, warts, big nose) is antisemitic in origin.
The Illuminati is referenced, which is an antisemetic conspiracy theory that there is an evil secret kabbal of Jewish men that run the government.

A trans character was removed from the game before release by director Zak Garriss, who also pushed back against attempts at more authentic representation and who refused to let the dev team make a post in support of BLM, calling it “a hate group.”
