Not intentionally, but Keith's dog Bean is stuck in a motel room during the first few parts of the series. He is shown escaping to safety in a side arc.

"Xenonematodes," are creatures that appear in the first arc of the series, and resemble lampreys. Insects play a role in the "Bigfoot Underground" arc following Season 1.

EXTREMELY debatable. The player characters are cops, and ultimately blunder their way into saving the world. However, only one on-screen cop could be described as "morally upright." Most of the characters' heroics appear after their police department effectively disbands. The police are a largely-antagonistic force in the second season. Police are generally not viewed in a good light in the series.

Both mentally-ill and non-mentally-ill characters behave violently. One otherwise-upstanding character becomes violent in moments of extreme stress, which are referred to as "failed sanity rolls."

No body dysmorphia occurred in Season 1, when this page was first created.
More recently in Season 2, however, Julius Summers develops a fear of/disconnect from his own face. This leads up to the beginnings of an interrupted self-mutilation attempt.

Abortion is discussed (largely out of character and in an unserious, surface-level way) in the Convergence side arc. If this is an issue for you, it is easy to skip, as Convergence does not tie in to either seasons' main story
