OKI have the theory.Madotsuki is actually Gabe Newell's fantasy. She refuses to leave her apartment because Gabe is too fat to fit through the door, and the lack of computer in her room testifies to the lack of updates he makes to his games.Let's go through the worlds in order.

The Numbers World obviously testifies to Gabe's programming. The significance of this area shows how significant programming has been on his life.Steve Kareha is a friend who tried to stop Gabe, possibly concerned about his health and lack of socialising when he was younger.KyuKyu represents his (ahem) boredom and once more, lack of socialising, with FACE being the obvious conclusion to his activity.

The static shield fold represent obstacles in Gabe's path. The largely humanoid form of the shield folk could represent how his family attempted to discourage him (in the same way a sword is blocked with a shield), much like Steve Kareha. It could also represent the brain illness that afflicted him until 2006/2007.
