Alcohol
The unlockable journal entries regularly reference drinking, possibly to the point that the writer could be interpreted as alcoholic.
Blood
The game uses blood as a clue for where to find mylings. It also appears on the doll in the shack, on the Huldra during a jump scare, and at the end of the game.
Body Horror
The mylings and possibly the huldra may constitute this.
Darkness
The cellar is pitch-black until the player finds a portable light source. The Huldra's lair is also very dark.
Dead Bodies
The mylings are bodies of children who have been murdered. The first ending shows the dead body of a woman.
Death of Family/Friends
The Player Character's ex-girlfriend dies at the end of the game.
Disease
The encyclopedia entry for the Night Ravens state that they are harbingers of disease and illness.
Drowning
The Brook Horse is noted to lure children onto its back and then drown them in a lake. The unlockable journal entries tell of a woman who murdered four children by drowning them.
Existential Despair
The writer of the unlockable journal entries experiences this.
Eye Horror/Eye Trauma
To solve a puzzle, a doll must be wound up. The head will then spin around. During the last rotation, its eyes are gouged out, with blood where they once were.
Ghosts
Mylings are ghosts of dead children. Four appear in the game.
Jump Scares
When the player finally finds the huldra, she suddenly leaps forward and screams with blood on her face. While searching for a myling in the mill, a ghostly apparition will suddenly jump out at the player.
When the player completes the church puzzle and attempts to move forward, there is another jump scare.
Murder
The first ending of the game reveals that the PC will murder the woman he loves.
Parental Abandonment
Debatable. The mylings were created when poor mothers paid a woman to find them new homes. The same woman then murdered them.
Psychological Horror
The unlockable journal entries deals with this. The main story does as well, though this is a more subtle variation.
Substance Abuse
The writer of the journal entries may be interpreted as an alcoholic.
Suicide
The second ending of the game ends with the Player Character committing suicide to avoid his fate.
Unreality
The premise of the game is that the player is deliberately inducing hallucinations.
Violence Against Children
The mylings are children who have been murdered.
