Yeah, there's been endless debate as to whether the people are still alive or not, especially as it was apparently months of travel through the mountain to get to the grossly disturbingly distorted "Exit Holes", and whether someone could survive having their body stretched out so much, but the dream the main character has the second night seems to imply that one is somehow kept alive despite being stretched beyond the neck's breaking point. The thing the Japanese do so well is just pure irrational horror. Even knowing that they won't be able to escape, even after having a nightmare about what happens to you in the "hole", even knowing you could just leave, once you see your hole you feel compelled to enter it. No explanation for why is ever given, so what should be just absurd and laughable is strangely compelling and eerily creepy!!! So now whenever I see those mutant plants in the game I get a little creeped out.

I can almost picture a hole in my shape, and when I come out the far side I've been stretched and distorted till I look like, like, SIDESHOW BOB!!! X-O
