Can't really tell, but judging from the trailer, it would be pretty linear. But maybe there are some sites with linear parts like Upsilon and big hub sites like Lambda.

I don't recall that topic specifically, but I do believe SOMA tries to load areas as you progress so there are no limited loading screens between large areas.

Thus, there may be a hub area which may divide, but there may not be a door which you click on which causes a loading screen intermission :3

I imagine there will be some convenient cave-ins to help with that.

Probably fall down an elevator shaft, look around, realise you're in the prison cells.

Awesome. It's counter-intuitive, but fits well with his blog posts on "peaks of terror".
