A few small things could relate:
(vague spoilers)
- A note mentions that one should not try to eat Replika flesh, as it is toxic to humans.
- Another note mentions someone dreaming that they are "consumed by a mass of flesh", though it is more in the sense of merging with it than being literally eaten.
- Some areas are made of/covered in flesh in a way that could visually resemble being inside a stomach.
Otherwise, no one is eaten or implied to be eaten whatsoever.

there is an implication that children are often seperated from their parents in order to be sent to military schools, which can be distressing in a similar (but not identical) vein

A character is seen hiding from someone that's chasing them with a rifle, and that had implicitly been chasing after them for some time.

The only appearance of any underage characters is in flashbacks to adult characters' high school days, which do not show anything intimate. The only romance is between consenting adults.

Open to interpretation? A brief early shot shows a character holding a knife near her hand, followed by a small spatter of blood on the floor. The next time the character is seen, her palm is wrapped in a bloody bandage. A later document also mentions her being "regularly treated for small lacerations", though nothing concrete connects these to self-harm.

Very, very much so. As you progress through the game it becomes extremely unclear how much of what's happening is even real or metaphorical, and most of the story you experience is left up to interpretation.

Absolutely. Lots of crawling through small holes, tight corridors full of enemies, and delving impossibly deep beneath the planet's surface.

Many, at points throughout the game. As of Update 1.2 there is an option to "reduce some high-frequency flickering visual effects", though I can't speak as to its effectiveness.
