Like most protagonists, she does not want to, or is unable to leave her room, and she sleeps and dreams.
In Usotsuki's real room, there is a debug room that appears when she interacts with one of the corners. However as of ver.0.03, the radio's blocking the doorway that appears.
When entering the dream world, a screen with the writing "Go*d Night World" in broken, sketchy letters appears, and then you are transported to the Nexus.
