it's a little complicated - the protagonist tries to tell a major character that they have been heavily mistreated by their friend and partner (moiraillegiance is canonically romantic), but this character responds with shock and denial, although the door is left open for them to come to terms with this

in a chase sequence around the middle of the game, it is possible to get a game over scene in which the protagonist is swallowed whole, although it is not graphic and is quite easily avoidable

there is no overt or violent parental abuse, but the main character has an incredibly negligent father who is the subject of great resentment

there's a mention of deercat stalking joey in chatlogs. it's a misuse of the term, but since this is for content warnings and the term is used, i'll consider it yes

a character's close friend and partner, who is otherwise depicted as mistreating them, is mentioned in optional examination text as having a tendency to get physically forceful; however, no overt violence or specific violent acts from them are mentioned or implied

there is a character who is arguably an example of this - they have little to no actual screentime, but the effects of their maltreatment of a major character is a significant plot point and can easily be read as them enacting oppressive treatment they receive onto others

There is no physical abuse. However, the main character and her brother (who are children) are implied to be frequently left alone at their house for long periods of time.

It is heavily implied that the babysitter of the main character and her brother has an alcohol addiction. This is not shown on screen, outside of bottles of alcohol being shown in various locations. Also, the babysitter does not show up in person in Act 1.

Jude sends three pigeons from his treehouse to the manor to bring marbles to Joey - one of these pigeons, Frohike, is caught and presumably killed and eaten by one of the monsters outside the house.

There is a monster that is described as snake-like, but it should be noted that this monster has legs. There is also a machine that has large snakes depicted on it. But, there are no actual snakes that have shown up as of Act 1.

To progress through Dammek's hive, the player has to play a game similar to snake. The "snake" is what appears to be a bug, or a buglike creature.

Although not under soil, Xefros Tritoh is buried under rubble when a missile breaks off part of his hive. He is rescued in the end though.

If the player switches from Joey to Jude and back during a scene where monsters are chasing Joey, a game-over sequence plays where the monsters catch up to her and Joey is thrown into the mouth of a monster. Although her death isn't shown, it can be assumed that she is killed and eaten.

to reiterate: it is possible to get a game over scene in which the protagonist dies, but this doesn't occur at any point during the general storyline. someone close to the protagonist is said to be dead, although this is not depicted at any point in the game. later on in the game, an event occurs that definitely results in mass death, but no actual deaths are shown onscreen

The main character's mother is mentioned to have died prior to the events of the story. This is not shown happening on screen, and there are no flashbacks to the event. It is only known that this happened due to it being mentioned in flavor text and dialogue.

it is discovered late in the game that a major character has surveillance cameras in various rooms of their house, presumably without their knowledge as it is never indicated that they are aware of this

the protagonist is heavily implied/coded to be LGBTQ and in denial of this, and is capable of dying in an optional game over scene, but this death is not related to her LGBTQ status at all

The ending is a cliffhanger, as the story is meant to be continued in later acts of the game (that have yet to be added as of when this comment is posted). In this cliffhanger ending, the main character are shown to be running from/possibly escaping from the danger that they are in at this point in the story.

there is some blood later on in the game, although it is from a minor injury, is not from a human or humanlike character, and is oddly colored and not strikingly red due to coming from an alien species

Several guns are shown around both Half-Harley manor and Dammek's hive, and Jude uses a flare gun, but none of the actual guns are used to harm anyone - Joey says she would never use a gun.
