I specifically remember one woman who i assume got slapped off-screen but it wasn't shown, and another got punched or slapped so hard that they got knocked out (however, no blood or anything like that was shown, she was just hit and passed out)

Alice is repeatedly belittled for her past and low social status by a series of actor characters throughout the story. Her recurring fear of the past events is commonly downplayed as "Pointless Insanity" and she is advised several times to simply "Forget About It".

A main character is revealed to be secretly facilitating the abuse and objectification of children, or possibly taking part in it themself. The game heavily references the abuses these children have suffered.

All throughout the game you come across several interpretations of bugs ranging from Maggots to Leeches. Many serve an aesthetic purpose; however two instances stand out. Bolterflies (Mechanic interpretation of Dragonflies), Oriental Themed Wasps, and a Caterpillar in Chrysalis stage.

“Rape” is not mentioned explicitly however a character in the game was indeed raped and that slowly gets uncovered. An optional collectible will also prompt an audioclip of the victim implying they’d been molested. Tldr the r word is not used but rape is a theme within the game.

Needles and Syringes have a minor appearance as indicators for collectible "Memories". However later in the game during the "Rutledge Asylum" segment they become featured more promptly; having been used on patients. Alice herself also undergoes a very similar albeit different treatment called the Trepanning Therapy on-screen.
