The main characters you play as are implied to be children or young adults and are forced to fend for themselves in dangerous environments. One of the cinematic trailers shows a boy neglected by his father that then lashes out for attention. The cinematic trailer with Willow in the orhapnage has the workers there find her awake, steal her stuffed animal from her, drag her down a hall and throw her in a closet, slamming and locking the door

You kill animals for food. you can hold rabbits, spiders and birds in your inventory and they will eventually starve and you can imprison a bird into a bird cage until it dies due to captivity

The only things hounds cannot fight are other hounds and they naturally are agressive to the closest thing to them unless it is a hound or a Varg (which is effectively just a larger hound that summons hounds)

They are hostile mobs and attack you, you can also play as a spider character. The spiders typically spawn in caves and around spider nests which are covered in spider eggs and webs. There is also a spider at the start of one of the cinematic trailers and throughout the climax and ending of that trailer, the boy also becomes fused with the spider

Wilson, one of the main playable characters of Don’t Starve, can shave with a razor item to reduce the size of his beard. Additionally, the player can shave cow-like creatures called Beefalo for their wool.

Drowning could count as that, and every time you sink, even without low health, you become fully wet and lose sanity, hunger and health, fully wet implies submersion, sanity implies some scary or traumatic event, hunger implies a struggle and health implies being hurt physically.

You can burn and freeze to death. Fires can also randomly start in summer and hounds with red fur burst into flames when killed. One of the cinematic trailers that has character lore features a library being burned down with a cat and woman in the building, the woman goes through a magical portal and the cat is saved by the girl who lit the fire, it was an arson attack. In the cinematic with Willow she burns down the orphanage that was abusing her and comes out looking scorched

You could argue that the “deerclops eye” item being able to be crafted into an umbrella or a turret is mutilation, the eye is perfectly intact no matter what you use it for

In the game, if the player stands too long into darkness, they will hear a loud hissing sound followed by a loud sound with the player being damaged massively.

You are alone in a magical world with no other humans in sight unless it is multiplayer, there are no cops and the only thing resembling “law figures” are Guard pigs which automatically attack anything that isn’t a pig

Wigfrid seems to have delusions of being her play character and possibly an eating disorder, Webber seems traumatised from being neglected by his parents, Wendy is depressed and seemingly obsessed with death after her twins death, the WX78, the robot person seemingly has some sort of memory disturbance or plurality as they seem to have the soul of another person inside them and have flashbacks switching between their robot body and a human body in their cinematic trailer, and Willow is an arsonist

There are portals, magic, sentient plants, consciousness transfer into a robot, and shadow monsters. In the cinematic cutscenes a robot has flashbacks to being a human and it flickers between his human and robot reflection. Magical shadow monsters and spells are used to give people powers. A woman also time travels in the cinematic trailers and ends up breaking the time continuum or something

If you have the settings “distortion” or “screen shake” on, then whenever earthquakes in the caves happen, boss monsters take a step or when insane the screen will shake

During cinematic cutscenes/trailers there is a lot of flashing, specifically old timey camera flicker effects. In game it happens when there is a thunder storm and sometimes during loading screens. Strobing is used in shipwreck for lightening storms

The main villain in the lore is a big lipped, big nosed, angular faced pale man who makes deals with children and then steals them away to imprison them in the world of the game we play, this is revealed through the cinematic trailers. If you don’t get why this is antisemetic look up “an introduction to antisemetic tropes - get the trolls out (dot) org”, “antisemetic trope - Wikipedia”, “Jewish nose - Wikipedia” or “understanding the antisemetic history of the hooked nose stereotype - media diversity”
An antisemetic witch with a hooked nose is also shown in a story a person is reading to some children
The pig king is also fat and greedy stereotypes

You go “insane” and start hallucinating if you sanity meter hits zero or lose sanity from stress or trauma happening to your character. I neat gameplay mechanic but has some underlying themes which aren’t the best. A kid is also abandoned and kicked out for becoming half human half spider which can be seen as an allegory to disability or queerness. Also another allegory being the cinematic trailer of the sentient plant person who is outcast by his animal peers for being different
