There's actually a reason, albeit it's mostly symbolic/thematic. It's a pretty neat little explanation.

Honestly, it's really not that edgy a VN. I guess people are murdered and do die pretty horribly in a few routes, but that's just because it's a mystery and they don't dwell on it. There's no gore or anything. Even the cannibalism is just one guy and you don't really see anything.
