Content Warnings (No Spoilers): Mild Horror, dead bodies, mild body horror, rare occasional language

Content Warnings (Spoilers): Body horror: In the 'good ending' of the game, the character C Visionary opens its body up into a spiky dragon mouth. It's not bloody but it might be upsetting to some. Mild Horror, Dead Bodies: In a late-game area in the desert, talking to an upside-down creature takes you to an area where the art style is much different. If you play here long enough there's a short 'chase' sequence that's akin to horror games, also the atmosphere is a little spooky. There's also something looking like a dead body later with a gargoyle beast implied to be eating it. This entire sequence is skippable if you don't want 100%. If you do want 100%, you have to play everything in the sequence up to the chase (which can be skipped without seeing the dead body).
