I do not know how you can “out yourself to the authorities” in the
game. Jo, could you explain to me what in-game choices trigger that?
For those who have not played the game, please look at any one of these
videos that show how the game plays before judging its artistic merit:

With the exception of violence implied by the various game overs (prison
rape, being eaten by pigs etc.), the game is not very violent. There is
only one sex scene in the game where a non-player character is clearly
not consenting – the rape lands the protagonist immediately in prison.

If Debian does not distribute sex scenes that are illegal in some
jurisdictions, what would you think might bring legal difficulties?
