Technically? Main character watches someone who is unaware, later tells them, it doesn't bother them

There's one scene in particular after the first torch sequence where the main character confronts an abusive parent where it is actually on-screen. The rest of the time it is alluded to or heavily implied.

This is a HUGE theme throughout. Multiple twists where what you thought you knew is revealed to be a lie.

There will be flashbacks when Senua was younger, she was abused verbally and isolated.

One of the stories unlocked by interacting with a Lorestone in Chapter 8 involves the hero, Sigurd, killing an evil dragon.

VERY MUCH YES, there's one early sequence where YOU burn to death and also a very upsetting sequence near the end where you watch as another character is burned alive.

Lots of corpses hanging from trees and such, but there are no sequences in which you watch a hanging happen.

I think the dark rot in your arm (all it does it make your arm black and spread to the rest of your body to kill you) is the only thing that arguably counts as mutilation. I often have issues with this kind of thing and I don't remember anything upsetting.

Many people have died from torture, mostly off screen (or we just see their dead bodies). The climactic scene before the final battle is the one place it is shown directly.

Only if you jump off cliffs (which is pretty easy to not do accidentally). There is also a glowing figure in the shape of a person who jumps off a bridge and dissolves in the air.

Druth is an NPC that will guide Senua, he's more or less a ghost, and he's friendly. There are also demons you have to fight in a lot of locations.

I would say not really, but a core theme of the game is the main character having many voices in her head, and in some way it's kind of like you are possessing her as you play the game. Other than that, no.

There's one disturbing scene (right after you get knocked off the bridge, if you want to prepare yourself) where the main character heats her sword in the fire and burns her face with it.

The character you play is both mentally ill and violent, but not in a stigmatizing way, since it is framed as just and empowering

Many times throughout the main character (who you play as) extremely intense anxiety attacks, as well as constant psychosis and arguably schizophrenia and delusions

There's lots of instances of expressing a desire for death, or attempting to exchange one's life for something in return, or not caring whether you die, and there is one scene where the main character is clearly suicidal (and being talked down by someone), but I don't think anyone ever actually expresses an intention to kill themselves.

No, however Senua is referenced to having contemplated it multiple times and she’s shown doing so a few times as well

When you finally enter Helheim (near the end of the game, after the Sea of [spoiler]s) a lot of the next sequence through the next boss fight (the Beast) involves some flashing red lights as an enemy chases you, though it's nowhere near a full strobe.

The narrator is one of Senua’s voices and speaks to you, the player, at some points as if you too are one of her hallucinations

It’s vague language and may not be ableist to some but the main character is referred to as cursed and the cause of plague, seemingly because she hears voices. There’s a warning the beginning of the game for triggers in regard to mental illness.

Many times when Dillion appears as a clearer vision, he is naked, we only see above his waist. Near the end we also see Hela's full body who is nude. No genitals are shown, it isn't sexual at all but you can see her breast.

One of the lore runes talks about an incestuous relationship. Many of these lore runes have disturbing topics as they are direct from Norse mythology, but are contained as just stories for Senua to think on.

It is stated at the beginning of the game that the developers closely studied psychosis, so it is safe to assume that Senua has it, as well.
