* Susan's mental breakdown in Chapter 3 probably hits a little too close to home to players actually suffering from depression, especially since it's not triggered by any huge traumatic thing but a culmination of little annoyances and stressors that she is unable to cope with.

The exits on the ground floor is guarded, and Liz opts to go to the roof instead. [[spoiler: It's shortly revealed that Liz's definition of 'escaping the hospital' is to jump off the roof of the building. Then it dawns on the player that she, just like Susan, is also suicidally depressed. No matter how much the player tries to convince her to stop, even by answering all of her questions correctly, Liz takes a leap and falls to her death.]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7KlD1OU8ZU The soundtrack doesn't help, either]].
