I was going to reblog @stranger-rants' ask but I thought making an entire separate post about it would be better.
This post contains spoilers, some blood/gore and genuine suffering
Chapter 6, The Possession of Billy Hargrove (June 1985) you play as Billy. It gives you a really terrifying visual perspective of his possession. It gives Silent Hill vibes if you ask me. It's creepy as fuck. It's like a half hour of Billy being psychologically tormented until he's completely destroyed. I'm not even joking.
It's just gut wrenching Billy torture while bodies are being fed to the mind flayer. I never want to see anything to do with this game again. My chest hurts.
The mind flayer is tormenting Billy with flashbacks and memories of the abuse from his father and his mother's absence.
Billy continues to be tormented the entire chapter, even hearing a monologue from his "fantasy girl"
Vecna continues to torment him, telling him that she's "everything he specifically could ever want in a woman.
"She's just like you, Billy. All those women with their tanned arms and bright, candy lips, you hurt them because you're sort of frightened of them."
"But the girls that come around that are like you, broken and starving for love..."
Vecna is basically trying to convince Billy that he can have that if he helps him build his army, and he won't be alone anymore.
Eventually, El gets through to him. He hears her voice on his car radio. It ends with Billy being fucking swallowed by the mind flayer (and me in tears)

There's Billy and Max content in Chapter 9, The Resurrection of Mad Max. In this chapter you play as El as she is trying to rescue Max from Vecna shortly after she falls into the coma.
When you enter Max's mind, you follow her as she skates away. Vecna puts many vines and demobats in your way as obstacles that you have to avoid. You try to rush to Max's aid when you hear her scream. On your way to Max, you can overhear a conversation between Max and Billy that goes as follows.
Max: Rubbing Alcohol? What...what am I supposed to do with this?
Billy: Kiss your boo-boo and make it better, sis. Dumbass—what do you think you're supposed to do with it?
Max: T-That's going to hurt!
Billy: If you're going to keep using that stupid skateboard, you're going to get banged up. Better learn how to fix that stuff yourself. Can't rely on others to do it for you.
Max: Okay, give it to me.
Billy: You owe me for this, by the way. Nothing's free.
And then Max snatches the rubbing alcohol from his hand and treats her wounds.
When Max notices you, everything fades to black and white and Billy speaks with Vecna's voice. Max tries to pull him away from you and they fall through what's safe to assume is "the fourth gate"
When you follow them through, you enter a flashback of Billy and Steve from the night of the fight at the Byers.
Then you continue to play through Max's memories for awhile and...well, pain incoming
Here's Max resting on Billy after he died. :(
