Chapter 2 lets you kill some computerized animals, such as cats, dolphins, mice, and clams. You can also kill a major bird character.

DELTARUNE CH2 SPOILERS //
In a specific route, it is heavily implied that Berdly (a bird) is either braindead or in a comatose in the real world due to the player getting Noelle to perform the SNOWGRAVE spell against him in the dark world.

A hidden route has you essentially gaslight and manipulate a character into 'becoming stronger' and killing for you. It is played purely for horror, as the character in question reacts realistically to your emotional abuse and coercion. It's implied that, by the end of Ch. 2, the character is traumatized enough to see violence as a default option. That said, this route is extremely easy to avoid, and extremely easy to get out of if you're on it.

The alternate route in chapter 2 involves you manipulating a girl into committing genocide, one of the victims of which being a close friend of hers, and gaslighting her as she suppresses all her killings, stuggles to remember what happens during battles and whether or not the events in the dark world were a dream, resulting in a breakdown at the end of the chapter when confronted with the fact that everything was real. It’s very disturbing on a level arguably more than the genocide route in Undertale. The requirements in order to trigger this route are super specific though, there’s no way in hell you’ll trigger this accidentally, or even intentionally without help from a guide, so you can very easily avoid this route if it disturbs you.

Near the end of Chapter 2, two scenes exist featuring multiple characters being both tied to and gripped by giant hands, unable to break free. In one instance, they are threatened with crushing. The scenes are relatively brief, but not skippable.

Minor spoilers for hidden content:
=============================================
On the hidden alternate route, you can equip a ring made of thorns to a young girl. The ring's description states that the "wearer takes damage from pain", and said character's hit points will then drain rapidly in battle.
Attempting to equip it to any of the other characters has them outright refer to it as a torture device and refuse.

there's a few little scenes where it happens;
the more major one surrounds a certain character in a very specific route. if you do this route, you can freeze the character and in the real world they will become unconscious (or possibly dead, we aren't sure). you can't really do it accidentally though!
there are also a few other small ones. in chapter 1, there's an unconscious enemy that later wakes up after being beaten by another character. in chapter 2 a character gets turned to stone, whether that counts or not is up to you - they turn out fine as well!
i think that's all!!

While never shown, an important character was heavily alluded to have been submerged in pure battery acid and suffered physical deformation (shrinking) as a result. A certain line from the character is implied to be a recount of their yelling for help during the event, mentioning the pain of the burns.
An unrelated character is later threatened with this same situation. Definitely not for people who struggle with burning.

One of the enemies you encounter are based on lego blocks, you have the option to rearrange them to spare them, but failure in doing so would place their legs where their head should be and viceversa. It's played comically and It shouldn't be of issue

Like Undertale, some of the monster designs are surreal, such as a character with a mouth in their stomach that comes complete with a tail-like tongue. However, they tend not to evoke violence or gore in any way.

Attacking enemies in Chapter 1 will simply cause them to flee, however during a secret route in Chapter 2 multiple characters (including one major character) are able to be frozen solid, and are implied to be dead.

It's unspecified what kind of illness they have, and it doesn't feel super stigmatized, but it could be triggering for someone. The two characters it applies to seem prone to derealization, and they're depicted somewhat sympathetically.

Kris, who is canonically non-binary, can die in the same way any RPG protagonist can, however none of these possible deaths are related to homophobia or transphobia whatsoever.

Kris canonically uses they/them pronouns; in-game, everyone uses the right pronouns at all times and Kris' gender is never commented on. However, much like Undertale, this is a point of contention in fandom spaces, so be cautious.

A large aspect of one of the bosses is that they were evicted and forced to live in garbage, and a main character, though perhaps to a lesser extent, seems to have questionable stability in their home life.
