Events

Chasers in the Theater (Aya, Aine)

After maneuvering through the theater for some time, you may reach an area that has nothing but the iconic Hallucigenia monochrome blobs as a wall mural on the other side. This triggers an event that causes a loud door-shutting noise (because the game is mostly silent, this may be VERY startling) and the white-dressed NPCs begin to chase you and the floor tileset turns red. You can escape this by going back to the Nexus, but the chasers will still be there, regardless (You have to wake up to make them disappear). 

The error message.

The Big Red Button (Aya)

In the Trees World you can find a big red button that will crash the game when interacted with (most likely on purpose). It is highly recommended to save your game before viewing this event. It will give you a message that says 「0による浮動小数点数除算」, which is translated to something like "The floating-point number to divide by 0". From what it looks like, this is a trolling event with a reference to some internet meme.
