Crossover

 * The Dogbert Temp Agency or one of its subcontractors used genetic engineering to create Monoko, the Pirori and Nopperabou Witches, and the disembodied arms of the Eyeball World and Staircase of Hands. Perhaps the last of these is a program to develop replacement limbs for amputees, and they are also researching targeted temperature management (a.k.a. "therapeutic hypothermia") and/or cryogenics.
 * Madotsuki is B.D. from Palette. (Extended writeup coming soon.)
 * Madotsuki's "Family Game" (ファミリィゲーム) console contains both a famiclone and a clone of a 16-bit console; she once owned a version of Lemmings for the 16-bit side, but the cartridge became lost, stolen, or damaged. The 8-bit side was supplied with multiple built-in games or a multicart; the included games were, among others, NASU, Bokosuka Wars, and Mother. However, an address line got fried in such a way that only NASU was playable.
 * Or, perhaps Madotsuki is a Lemming dreaming about what it would be like to be human; unfortunately, much of the Lemmings' knowledge about human life stems from often-violent fictional media. The NPCs drawn in super-deformed proportions are fellow Lemmings, and the more realistically-proportioned humanoids represent actual humans. Madotsuki cannot open the door of her real-world bedroom because it normally opens only when her presence is requested in a Lemmings level.
 * Madotsuki is Umihara Kawase (the eponymous protagonist) in a bad future where pollution has horribly mutated all the fish and sent her spiraling into insanity.
 * Douglas "Doug" Funnie becomes Madotsuki after a gender transition.

Non-crossover

 * Madotsuki has Charles Bonnet syndrome, exacerbated by a head injury suffered while riding a bicycle without a helmet.
 * A film set, theatrical play, and/or puppet show comprises Madotsuki's known "real world" and "dream world."
 * Madotsuki is a fetus who is picking up psychic echoes of the world around her but hasn't yet learned the context in which to interpret them; her "death" in the ending is actually her birth.
