The most significant example of this is the Toriningen Party, where a group of Toriningen are seen having a picnic together in the Wilderness, while dancing to cheerful music. They also have the characteristic of having a group dynamic that goes beyond other multiple identical NPCs spawning in one location (such as the Wheelies). Throughout the game Madotsuki encounters tall creatures (referred to as Toriningen by fans), of which are considered enemies in the game due to their nature of trapping Madotsuki in inescapable locations when in a "lunatic" state.

The sombre soundtrack of the game is also a contributing a factor within this: with most other video games, longer pieces of music (around the typical two to three minutes) can signify how much time has passed since the player started playing the game, but shorter ones can make time be lost easily. The locations themselves can feel isolating and lonely, due to being large and often looping, especially in the original locations, of which only contain few points of interests. There is no dialogue, most NPCs ignore Madotsuki and only few NPCs turn to her when the player tries to interact with them. In her dream world, the themes of isolation and loneliness continue. This can mean that she has a desire to explore, is however not able to do so in the real world and thus feels comfortable to do it in her dreams. In her dream world, she can not only leave through said door but is able to access the different dream locations through similar looking doors in the Nexus. When the door in the real world is interacted with, she shakes her head, making it impossible to exit through it.

Going outside her balcony at different points in the game shows that quite a bit of time passes - it turns night, then day again. Madotsuki does not leave her apartment for the entirety of the game. 12.2 The Martian Underground represents an abortion.
