There is a debug room accessible from the room in the real world by interacting with the wall on the left of the door. There's also a minigame that can be played using the console next to the TV.

Plot

The game stars Eric, a relatively wealthy hikikomori who, in his bed, explores the realm of his dreams. From the various effects and areas in UBOK, it is possible Eric had some sort of bone complications/surgery that affected him throughout his life, or was a rather sickly person growing up. He most likely kept notes/a journal of his days, which is what you find scattered in his dreams.
