one of the questions...(Spoilers)
I just watched Jackseptieye's playthrough and one of the questions is a red flag to me.

To anyone else reading this, if you want to go blind, disregard this until after you gain context:

Is the game ACTUALLY showing your IP address? I know that the test is supposed to make the player uncomfortable (hence me putting this as a spoiler), but what if the player is filming themselves when it pops up? While I'm at it, do any questions reveal something that private?

The IP address the game shows is not your own IP address. To find your IP address go to the windows search bar type cmd and open command prompt. Next type in ipconfig and look for IPv4 Address.

The IP you are talking about is the private IP address. It is only used in the LAN so that the router can distinguish between the different connected devices. The game shows your public IP address, which is used for devices outside of your network to communicate with your router. It could also be used to get the location of the data-center that the ISP uses for your IP, and for DOSing.
