Due to the genre and the setting, Stardust ★ Arcadis is a game dealing with many adult topics. 

While it only grazes the surface of most, some are more anchored into the story than others. It is not a game for you if any of these themes cause distress of discomfort: parental neglect & abuse / parentification, effects of long-term illnesses, discrimination* , severe injuries, financial instability / insecurity, grief, depression, substance abuse. 

None of these appear in demo 1, but will appear in the final game.
