Gorrister can kill animals in cages at some point. One of them makes distinct dog noises.

Harry, Gorrister's father-in-law, is described as having a drinking problem. To progress, you must repeatedly give him whiskey so he will be intoxicated enough to provide you with story-crucial information.

In Ellen's scenario, her bad ending involves her getting raped. It cuts to silhouette and lasts only for a few seconds before sending you back to the start screen, but it is still technically visible.

Gore is present, but it is not high-detail (with the singular exception of one part of a bad route in Nimdok's scenario). The game is pixelated, and the gore is not realistic as a result. The more violent scenes are cut to silhouettes.

Benny has had his body distorted into something ape-like long before the game began. In the ending, if you don't play your cards right, one of the five playable characters will be turned into a mouthless blob creature.

Gorrister's scenario surrounds the topic of suicide, with lots of suicidal imagery and options to attempt it, but he does not actually die in any route.

Benny is racist toward foreign people, using the word "g**k" and calling Southeast Asian people "backward". Nimdok's scenario is about N**i Germany and features lots of racism and antisemitism. AM's hate monologue probably also counts.

Even the "good" ending (that the author, Harlan Ellison, only BEGRUDGINGLY let be an option) ends with one character still alive, and helping the last 700 humans get back to Earth. The "bad" (and technically canonical) ending well...that's downright harrowing.

This is the setup for the game (AM uses nuclear weaponry to destroy the Earth's surface and all life on it). The game takes place entirely underground, but (SPOILER) we see the results of the nuclear fallout once at the end of Ted's scenario.
