Baron Lorenz Rothvogel assaults one of the nuns in the Kiersau Abbey. It does not happen on screen, but it may come up during the course of the murder investigation in Act I. Mother Cecilia will describe more about the events of the assault.
Records in the library suggest that the victim, Sister Matilda, took an extended stay away from the abbey after she was assaulted.

Any of the people you can accuse of murder in Act I and II can die. You will be forced to accuse one person of murder in each Act except the third.
Side characters can also die, and sometimes this is unavoidable

Martin's wife Brigita is heavily implied to be in an affair with Veronica.
Addifionally, several men in the plot are unfaithful to their wives. This includes Baron Lorenz Rothvogel in the first act.

Almost all of the books in the Scriptorium are burned when the villagers revolt against the abbot.

Father Thomas destroys the Roman ruins (sculptures, murals, etc.) because he does not want the citizens of Tassing to know about the town's Pagan history.

Medieval equivalents. There is an infirmary in the abbey where you examine the body, the Steinauer house is used essentially as a maternity ward, though only actually used as one in Act 2, and the Stolz house doubles as a sort of hospital.

Brother Volkbert is coded as neurodivergent, possibly autistic. He discusses the other monks making fun of him for not understanding jokes, describes himself as a burden on the abbey, and the player has the option to take advantage of his naivete. This isn't really explicit as the medieval setting doesn't really have our present-day understanding of neurodivergence.

Yes, but the game’s portrayal of antisemitism is very mild and sympathetic towards the Jewish people

Discussions of anti-Romani racism, antisemitism, misogyny, and ableism, but the story is very much on the side of the people discriminated against.

There is no nudity on screen and sex is not discussed in detail. But, dialogue choices can be made during two sex scenes in Act I inside the Abbey's Library. To avoid this, do not wait for the monks to stop making out, and do not choose to seduce Zdena.
