There are none, but please note that conception through rape is a major plot point. While the child doesn't survive through pregnancy, the father behaves abusively towards the mother throughout. If that might be an adjacent trigger, please be cautious.
we consistently see a character being somewhat friendly/amicable towards their abuser but its never stated nor implied that they actually forgave their abuser
Two segments in the latter half of the game include stalker-y mechanics. There is a small minigame in which you have to avoid a blind creature, which follows you very closely and you cannot physically see it. A character also follows you around, but you are aware of it and they are friendly. Still can be a bit spooky to hear footsteps behind you though.
There is also a secret in a scene fairly early in the game where a character watches you while hiding. You may not even notice them, although a few of the playthroughers I watched talked about feeling watched during this segment.
This is debatable. Though the worst of it isn't shown onscreen, the only female character largely exists to be verbally abused, sexually assaulted, and driven to suicide by a specific man onboard the ship.
Arguable. If you read between the lines, Curly and Jimmy appear to have had a toxic friendship before the crash. Despite Curly pulling strings to get Jimmy a job, Jimmy often acts passive-aggressive about Curly's successes and straight up lashes out at him over things out of his control, which becomes straight-up physical abuse post-crash. Curly is a bit of a people-pleaser who is a longtime friend of Jimmy, so when Anya is concerned for her safety Curly doesn't take proper precautions and decides to talk to Jimmy himself in a diplomatic and not punitive way, implicitly not realizing the severity of the situation. This directly leads to the crash, as Jimmy attempts a murder-suicide to dodge the consequences of Anya being abused. It's less 'becoming an active abuser' and more 'people-pleasing leading to enabling someone else's abuse.'
**MAJOR SPOILERS** - in a dialogue with anya, jimmy says "he tried to take us all down with him" referencing curly crashing the ship. however, it is revealed that jimmy was actually the one who crashed it. he lied to the whole crew about what happened and pinned the blame on curly. he blames swansea for the reason they don't have disinfectant. he is very manipulative throughout the whole game, constantly changing the narrative to avoid taking any responsibility.
Not for the game at all, most likely free-use footage, but there is a point in the game where you watch various videos and, if I recall correctly, one is black and white footage of a slaughter house, with animal carcasses on screen. The slaughter of the animals is not shown.
No actual bugs, but there is a monster at one point of the game that resembles a centipede loosely? It's long, has a lot of legs, and skitters around, and I doubt that can be pleasant. Luckily, it isn't necessarily buggy beyond that, no freaky eyes of appendages.
Note that while there are clear parallels between a man getting severely mutilated and a woman getting sexually assaulted both situations are played for horror.
Not onscreen, but a character reveals herself to be pregnant later in the game and is extremely afraid of the father. An assault is never shown but commenting because the conception was not consensual and that can be very upsetting
A prominent character is shown to be missing both hands shortly after being seriously injured. The moment in which the injury occurs is not shown onscreen.
someone becomes mortally wounded when crawling through an enclosed space that collapses on them. they die shortly afterwards, not directly due to their injuries.
A character gets briefly and partially buried in foam, but is pulled out and is unharmed.
Not the same as being buried alive, but a character is put into a cryogenic pod with their survival uncertain. This is done in a first-person perspective.
one of the main characters becomes severely mutilated after an accident and you frequently visit them.
the opening scene involves the main character hallucinating a horse mascot statue slowly gain more and more limbs, eyes, heads, etc.
another hallucination involves the mascot as a huge, hulking monster with an impossibly long, bent neck, stalking and watching the player as they travel through a maze.
another hallucination involves the mascot as a long, centipede-like monster, reminiscent of how it looked during the first hallucination, stalking you through vents and crawling along the ceiling.
one of the characters gets into an accident that leaves them in a constant state of agony, and the act of keeping them alive could be seen as torturous. there are several fade-to-black scenes in which they're forced to take medication against their will, something that's explicitly said is painful to them, and you hear them choke and cry as its administered. at one point, they're even beaten as they're given the medication. later, their leg is amputated and they are forced to eat their own flesh.
While no character falls to their death, there is a lot of falling segments in hallucinations, with some of those having themes of the death of others. Although, it's more of a way to represent great injury or spiral. Just keep an eye out.
A character has a bandaged face with only one eye visible. The other is left to be implied. The visible eye is used very frequently in imagery in-game.
[SPOILERS] Only in the very loosest sense of the term. A pregnant woman kills herself and inadvertently the embryo, though this is never discussed. (Although it was very early on in pregnancy for her and scientifically the embryo is not alive, I understand some people consider embryos babies so this might still be triggering.)
It's revealed that Curly's injuries are not the result of him deliberately crashing the ship, but trying to get them back on course after Jimmy sabotaged the autopilot in a murder-suicide attempt.
Daisuke climbs into a vent he was told was dangerous to reach Anya after she locks herself inside the medbay with Curly, only to discover her post-suicide body and dying shortly after. However, that is less 'sacrificing yourself' and more 'being sacrificed through coercion.'
The game ends with Jimmy shoving a heavily mutilated Curly into the last working cryopod, then shooting himself just offscreen as it begins to activate. However, this is one of the few cases in fiction where it's actually treated as a villainous act, as Jimmy severely abused multiple people, including Curly, and is attempting to die with a clean conscience and a delusion of being a 'hero' who 'fixed everything' rather than deal with the consequences of his actions. Curly's fate is unknown after this, but it looks bleak.
With the exception of an animatronic horse. The game has no voice acting, only text. The stock live action footage doesn't appear to have any disabled people from what I remember.
One character dies via overdose, and you see their corpse alongside empty pill bottles. Another character is drugged with an item the game describes as "potentially deadly", they go unconscious but survive the incident.
You guys have fully mixed up trypophobia with scopophobia, and this warning is now extremely confusing. With scopophobia, yes, you should watch out due to the eye imagery! With trypophobia, you are thinking of a close pattern of holes/multiple holes in one area, this has nothing to do with Curly's eye at all. Please do research before adding a comment as misleading as you have.
There are two instances.
The first is a recovering alcoholic who behaves erratically after he relapses on the mouthwash. The game initially lets us think he's going to have a Shining-esque violent breakdown as he's shown attacking the player with an ax in non-chronological order, but it's revealed that he actually euthanized a heavily-injured crewmate before going after the person responsible in an act of revenge and/or justice and/or preventing him from harming more people.
The other one is the player character, who skimps on his psych evals and is ultimately revealed to be a rapist and manipulator with delusions of grandeur who hallucinates heavily as the game goes on.
There are very frequent time-jumps -- it is a non-linear story, but these flashbacks / flashforwards are not done in a typical way and may leave the player confused/lost/etc. There are also multiple scenes that are not truly occuring but instead happening symbollically -- it can be hard to distinguish between the two on occasion.
YES. The following triggers in particular are present:
- Very audible choking/gagging noises.
- EXTREMELY loud, pained moaning and gasping.
- Retching from throwing up.
These are often hard to avoid, but you can see them coming so might have chance to turn your volume down.
Yes absolutely, there is a scene where the character you are playing says the objectives they had and have to do while the objectives appear on the GUI, this only happens that one time.
Vaguely discussed, but you kind of have to read between the lines. Anya mentions considering getting drunk off the mouthwash too, but she says it 'wouldn't fix anything.' Later scenes imply that she wasn't talking about using it to numb pain but more its use as a abortifacient due to the ethanol content. Right before she dies from an intentional overdose she mentions doing what Jimmy 'told' her to do a long time ago, which could refer to her either terminating the pregnancy or ending her own life.
Most people are saying this is a no, but there is a character that's disabled and relies on people for help, and while he is not actively shamed for it, he is abused at multiple points by his 'caretakers'. As a disabled person, that hit close to home. It's disability horror handled well, though. (IMO)
A fat character is poked fun at for not fitting into places and is stated to eat a significant amount. (Take this with a grain of salt, my memory isn't great and this is something I forgot to take notes on!)
Misogyny and ableism are both major themes.
Anya, the one female crew member, is verbally and heavily implied sexually abused by Jimmy. An early foreshadow has Anya mentioning that Jimmy says he is sexually attracted to 'cartoon horses' in his psych reports typically administered by her. While obviously disrespectful by itself, the full implication, especially with his Polle-themed hallucinations, is that he's calling a woman he abused a 'horse' to her face. Similarly nasty comments are made to and about Anya, with an implication that Jimmy is saying even worse things offscreen.
Curly ends up severely injured after the crash, with his hands and feet amputated, most of his skin burned off, and largely covered by bandages. He gets blamed for the crash, and Jimmy resents taking care of him. He proceeds to physically and emotionally abuse Curly while he unable to fight back, resist, or talk back in any way.
Note that while Jimmy is the main player character he is also the villain, and the game condemns him for these actions.
[SPOILERS!!!!] Kind of, yes, but only from a certain point of view: a character when you play as X is completely underdeveloped because he does not see her as anything important. It is also heavily implied X raped her in her sleep. Playing as Y, she is much more developed. Take this as you please.
not technically terminally ill, just heavily injured, mutilated and disabled. the above comment is incorrect, the character is regularly given pain medication because they're in a constant state of pain; its not the thing that keeps them alive.
no, but some of the language used for a heavily injured crew member could be triggering to some in the same vein as insults towards chronically ill people
Most of the main characters die, and the only survivor, who is cryogenically frozen in a pod that will keep them frozen for 20 years, has already lost several limbs and is completely covered in extremely severe burns. It is left ambiguous if they will be rescued, and even if they are, it will likely be with a greatly diminished quality of life.
