(SPOILERS) When speaking to Medici after you find him with Lou, he describes in detail how he loves making female machines suffer on purpose.

(SPOILERS) Once the player finds Lou, Medici is "stirring her stomach" in a way meant to evoke sexual activity. His dialogue afterwards describes how he enjoys making female machines suffer and it is heavily implied to have been a forced encounter, identical to rape.

Throughout the game’s playtime, there seems to only be crabs and frogs amongst machines- and whilst it’s implied these frogs and crabs go towards making fuel upon being caught and eaten, it’s not shown on screen in animation or art.

The only reference anywhere near to the topic of gender in recent memory seems to be referring to Lou’s androgyny, not particularly in a mocking or malicious way. Aside from the way the robots are literally built and how Reiko complains of the lifts, (which is later a shared topic among the mechanic Miya implying he’d like to make them accessible to everybody without much fuss) there isn’t much talk of what gender roles mean to these machines.

Medici and Lou, if i remember correctly, are seen onscreen via cutscene upon entering the backrooms of Gimnon’s Ego Clinic to engage in the closest comparable thing (on account of them being mechanical and surreally morphed but still seemingly vaguely humanoid) to sexual intimacy / penetration. Aside from that, there’s an abundance of artistic nudity, but I wouldn’t much consider it to be similarly sexual.

Hard to say. Spoilers ahead:
Come the opening of the flood gates, Juice disappears, triggering an all time shortage of fuel and a panic amongst machines that leads to mass wipeout of their village. However, an odd ending is triggered by the very end of the game in which you come to a hollow cavern filled with bright teal crystals and the ghost of your partner folded in place. From what I could tell by the end of my playthrough, garage was a simulation of life set in place by a machine that messed with consciousness. It was, by the end of the game, shut down by the mass breakdown of each machine, and you are set free to a grassy plane filled with birds and trees, the only entirely open space in the entire game. This implies to me everybody else locked into garage’s simulation were real living humans too, which leads me to believe they were simply brought back to reality when garage fell apart.

A character's backstory is that they nearly drown but are saved by someone else. The main character is fished out of the sewage running through Garage in the beginning of the game, and has survived. There are many deactivated robot bodies half-sticking out of the water in certain areas, but they presumably died in other ways before being tossed in.
